Programa

MARINE BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES AND FISHERIES
1. Main marine biological resources worldwide
2. Fisheries technologies
3. Fisheries resources management
3.1 Fisheries Resources Management Measures
3.2 Conservation of marine biodiversity and marine protected areas

AQUACULTURE
1. World, European and Portuguese situation
2. Production systems in aquaculture: Local ans species selection
3. Water management techniques bases: Water source; parameters of water quality;impact on the
environment; Water recycling
4. Management operations in aquaculture
5. Food and fish growth in aquaculture
6. Pathology and health in aquaculture
6.1Diseases control: Diagnosis and deseases
6.2 Fish vaccination
6.3 Introductions and transfers
7. Auxiliary crops of microalgae and zooplankton
8. Aquaculture projects

Laboratorial component: Identification of the main fish, crustaceans and mollusks families; Fish and zooplankton production and reproduction; fish food production; water quality control techniques.

In the 1st part of UC, the syllabus contents intended to raise awareness of the existing marine resources and fishing techniques that can be used for exploitation. It also addresses the need to control and manage the quantities caught and to preserve the marine resources, in order to minimize the decreasing in the fish populations and the environmental impact of fisheries.
In the 2nd part, it is intended to give the operation concepts in aquaculture production and it also addresses to give the students know how about the techniques used in the aquaculture production and production optimization, food and species selection and pathologies associated with the production. It also addressed the water treatment and the wastewater effluent treatment in order to minimize the environmental impacts of production in aquaculture. With this knowledge the students will be able to operate and control production in aquaculture units.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

Expositive method, being privileged the interactive training in the introduction of theoretical concepts and solving problem. It is intended that the students draw conclusions, guiding them in the process in lectures and in the laboratory practice. In laboratory classes, the students perform experimental work according to protocols provided subsequently preparing the respective report.

The curricula unit uses expositive teaching methodology, with the support of slides, and examples and case studies and resolution of calculation exercises in order that the student understand the concepts and apply them in practice of aquaculture and management of marine resources. The CU has a strong laboratory component and are intended to illustrate in practice the theoretical concepts transmitted and to develop in students: (1) the trial capacity and application of the scientific method; (2) 'know-how' skills associated with the acquisition f laboratory expertise; (3) teamwork; and (4) development of critical spirit and interpretation of experimental results. All material classes and syllabus is provided in the Moodle platform.
The way how the teaching methodology of the aquaculture and marine resources CU is presented, it enables to the students to achieve great success.

Obtenção de frequência

The evaluation of theoretical component is performed by continuous evaluation by conducting two tests or final exam on the dates specified in the exams calendar. The laboratory evaluation is performed based on the realization of the treatment results of laboratory work.

Attendance at TP classes is recommended and attendance at laboratory classes is mandatory.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

The final rating is obtained by weighting 60% remains in the evaluation test or examination + 35% for laboratory work component + 5% attendance.

Both evaluation components will have to be positive, i.e. with final mark higher than 9.5.
