Programa

Module 1. Engineering and design of production systems (In-person: TP-6h, PL-3h, OT-2.5h, online: TP-6h, OT-2h)

1.1 Location and selection of the type of cultivation systems

• Production in different types of installations on land and in the open sea.
• Location of installations in fresh, brackish and salt water.
• Type of production structures: floating, submerged, tanks, cages and bottom systems.

 1.2 Design of cultivation systems

• Design of fish, mollusc and crustacean production facilities.
• Filtration, disinfection and oxygenation in land installations.
• Auxiliary equipment for onshore installations: water collection, pumping systems, recirculation, renewal rates and water distribution.

 Module 2. Production management (In-person: TP-6h, PL-1.5h online: TP-6h, S-1.5h)

1. Planning, management and organization of production in fattening, pre-fattening and breeding facilities.
2. Batch management and production planning according to the size of tanks and cages and equipment.
3. Growth management. Unfolding, classification and growth control. Monitoring batch growth, biomass and control of batch traceability.
4. Management and control of losses due to mortality and escapes into the natural environment. 5. Risks associated with the use of wild organisms in cultivation and contagion by pathogenic organisms in the systems' supply water.

 Module 3. Facilities management (In-person: TP-3h, PL-3h, online: TP-3h, S-1.5h)

1. Management and maintenance of facilities: pipes, channels, floodgates, aeration and supply systems and auxiliary structures
2. Increase in scale, “scale-up” of cultivation systems. Potential risks and impacts of scale-up obtained from research results.

 Laboratory Component:

1. Analysis of water mixing and renewal in tanks (1.5h)
2. Study of sedimentation in tanks (1.5h)
3. Development of a production and quality control plan (1.5h)
4. Analysis of oxygen transfer and distribution in tanks (1.5h)
5. Laboratory setup of pilot installations for R&D development (1.5h)

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

In theoretical-practical classes, different production systems and the bases for designing production systems and aquaculture facilities will be described. Theoretical classes will take place, with face-to-face and distance classes on Teams/Zoom teaching platforms in b-learning. In practical laboratory classes, students will apply theoretical knowledge to solve and/or demonstrate specific problems and/or concepts. In tutorial classes, project work will be carried out on a complete installation, on land or at sea, where students will be able to put the knowledge acquired into practice, using the Project Based Learning (PBL) methodology. External experts will be invited to seminar classes to share experiences.

Obtenção de frequência

Assessment can be continuous or by exam. The assessment will be based on a test/exam and the completion of a project and its presentation and the work carried out in the Lab.

• Module 1: 1 mini-test + 1 sizing work (part 1) + 2 Lab works
• Module 2: 1 production management assignment (part 2) + 1 Lab assignment
• Module 3: 1 mini-test (60% Module 2 + 40% Module 3) + 2 Lab assignments.

Fórmula de cálculo da classificação final

The final grade is obtained using the following calculation formula:

CF = 0.50 x test/exam + 0.40 x project/presentation + 0.10 x Lab Work.

 CF – Final classification. The final grade must be higher than 9.5 to obtain approval
