Objectives

During the course of this discipline, the students will learn fundamental knowledge in the domain of fish nutrition and feeding.

Learning outcomes and competences

The sudent should know, understand and debate why: 1) The transformation of relatively low valued food, to more attractive ones to human consumption, is the main goal of any animal production study; 2) Tha wven though the possibility to attain 100% conversion efficiency is an unachievable task, the degree in which the feed ingredients are used, constitutes the central concern of the nutritionists; 3) Why the costs of the formulated feed in an intensive system represent between 40 and 70% of the total production costs. The careful preparation of this discipline will contribute for the preparation of capable and independent professional to contribute for the aquaculture management of the feed resources.
