Animal Welfare in Aquaculture and Public Aquariums students should show evidence of proficiency of:
(1) Knowing the fundamentals of animal welfare and developing a critical spirit in situations where animal welfare may be compromised.
(2) Recognize that animal welfare “status” includes the physical and emotional state of the animal;
(3) Understand the theoretical basis for the basic needs of aquatic animals;
(4) Discriminate normal and abnormal behavior;
(5) Understand the potential of promoting animal welfare in aquaculture and public aquariums
(6) Adopt a critical view in the face of problems posed in professional practice.
(7) Design, develop and present original work resulting from the assessment of a range of welfare indicators to identify and improve welfare problems of aquatic animals – based on the acquired knowledge;
It is planned that this UC has large participation of students, who will:
(1) Use scientific principles to assess different animal welfare problems
(2) Develop individual and group work that promotes reflection and critical thinking;
(3) Design, develop and present original work resulting from the observation and assessment of the welfare of animals in aquaculture and aquariums;
(4) Develop the ability to communicate, presenting review/original works in the form of oral or poster communication.
1 What is animal welfare and why is it important?

- Theoretical-Practical Component: Completion of 3 group projects (2 theoretical and 1 mini-project), mandatory, with a minimum grade of 9.5 and contributing 70% to the final grade for the course.
- Theoretical Component: Final theoretical exam covering the content of the theoretical and theoretical-practical classes, contributing 30% to the final grade for the course, with a minimum grade of 9.5.
-The final grade will be the weighted average of the TP assessment (70%) + T assessment (30%).
Students who achieve the minimum grade (9.5) in the theoretical-practical component may retain that grade.
