A summary of European university-level courses covering aspects of fish reproduction biology can be accessed here.

UNIVERSITY OF RENNES 1 / AGROCAMPUS RENNES / NATIONAL VETERINARY SCHOOL NANTES (FRANCE)

Master by Research “BAPSA” (Applied biology of animal production & health)

Option: BIOPOISSONS (BIOFISH)

The objective of this Master course is to train scientists in animal science and its agronomy, biotechnology and food processing applications, in light of economic and societal demands and the evolution of agriculture. The BAPSA is the result of collaboration between the University of Rennes 1, Agrocampus Rennes and the National Veterinary School in Nantes.

The specialisation « BIOFISH » covers the physiology of fish and its application to aquaculture and fundamental research.

In particular relation to the reproductive biology of fish, this option offers the following taught modules:

· sex determination and differentiation in fish

· neuroendcrinology

· ovogenesis

· spermatogenesis

· genetic selection

· cryropreservation and genome regeneration.

For more detailed information on the content of the BIOFISH option, please download the pdf document below (in French only). If after you have consulted this document you have a specific question on this option, you can contact the BIOPOISSON coordinator Jean-Jacques Lareyre

The overall coordinator of the BAPSA Master is Christian Saligaut

General information on the Master course and the application procedure can be accessed on the University of Rennes 1 website

UNIVERSIDADE DO ALGARVE - FACULDADE DE CIENCIAS DO MAR E DO AMBIENTE (SPAIN)

Masters in Aquaculture and Fisheries

Aquaculture modules include:

· Reproduction in aquaculture

· Genetics and selection

Part of the “European Master of Science in Aquaculture & Fisheries” (a joint programme approved by the Erasmus Curriculum Development programme), this course is a research-based Master, in parallel to the local programmes offered at the partner universities. It is a two-year programme with a minimum of 30% of the course spent at a host university.

The core partners of the Consortium are teaching and research institutions with an international reputation in aquaculture and fisheries. These universities share a similar mission, academic interest and research focus. This programme will enable students to benefit from leading competence in various fields of aquaculture and fisheries science as a result of the complimentary expertise of the core partners and satellites. Their specialised research facilities guarantee up-to-date science in close cooperation with other research institutes as well as with the aquaculture industry (farms and companies).

The International programme is based on an existing and expanding network of universities and research institutions in Europe and worldwide and is coordinated by the Ghent University, Belgium. The partner universities of the European Master of Science in Aquaculture and Fisheries are: University of Algarve, Bergen, Ghent, Wageningen, Warmia & Mazury, University College Cork and the Norwegian University of Science & Technology.

UNIVERSITY OF STIRLING - INSTITUTE OF AQUACULTURE

A range of programmes are offered at MSc, Postgraduate Diploma and Postgraduate Certificate levels

All of the postgraduate programmes at the University of Stirling Aquaculture Institute are created from discrete modules to enable flexibility of learning while maintaining a high standard of training. All of the postgraduate modules are accredited to the Scottish Credit Qualification Framework (SCQF). This structure allows greater subject choice to strengthen career prospects in all branches of aquaculture. Any of the two-week long taught modules can be taken individually and this allows programmes of study to be followed on a part-time basis, accumulating credits.

The taught programmes consist of three module types; foundation modules, more specialised advanced modules and a research project module.

Programmes of study offered:

· Sustainable aquaculture

· Aquaculture systems (includes modules on broodstock and genetic management)

· Aquaculture & the environment

· Aquaculture & nutrition

· Aquaculture & development

· Aquaculture & business management

· Aquatic veterinary studies

· Aquatic pathobiology

· Aquatic animal health

· Aquatic resources development
