Only with the proper management of aquaculture facilities will it be possible to achieve an efficient production that benefits the entire population"

The correct design of a facility for animal production is always essential, but in the case of aquaculture it takes on special importance, mainly due to the unique nature of water. It is essential to control water, both in continental and marine structures, which will entail an adequate planning of water circulation, reservoirs and enclosures that will house the marine life.

In inland installations it will be essential to have a constant and high-quality water supply in order to channel the water supply, as well as its evacuation, without overlooking the treatment of the water before releasing it back into the natural environment. The location of the infrastructure will therefore also be another key point in the aquaculture industry.

On the other hand, in marine installations it is not necessary to design the course of the water in the installation, but it is very important to be aware of the currents, wind and waves of the place chosen for the location, as these will be key elements in the success or failure of the project.  
Once up and running, every aquaculture company requires a thorough strategy that covers all areas of the process so that nothing is left to chance and when there is an incident, the source can be located and quickly remedied.  
It must be taken into account that aquaculture activity causes effects that directly impact human society and, consequently, its viability is absolutely essential. To this end, two complementary aspects must be taken into account: the business (microeconomic) and the macroeconomic. Therefore, this course focuses on the economics and economic-financial management of the production process in the aquaculture company.

This postgraduate certificate provides students with specialized tools and skills to successfully develop their professional activity in the wider aquaculture environment, works on key competencies such as knowledge of the reality and daily practice of the professional, and it further promotes responsibility in the monitoring and supervision of their work, as well as communication skills through essential teamwork.
