The increase in population, worldwide, requires new advances in breeding and cultivation systems, to ensure food supply"

##IMAGE##

Current UN forecasts predict an increase in the world population of around two billion people by 2050. This increase in population will lead to an obligatory development of breeding and cultivation systems that can guarantee food supply to all continents. At the same time, the environmental factor will lead to the appearance of new technologies that will allow this increase in production, while respecting all the parameters of protection of the natural environment. 

The Aquaculture sector has been developing and implementing improvements for years, mainly due to the fact that traditional fishing in the usual fishing grounds is not capable of satisfying the current demand for Aquaculture products, as it has to respect closed fishing periods and the catch quotas established by the authorities. These factors have led to a constant development and continuous progress of the aquaculture industry. 

This Professional master’s degree in Aquaculture offers a specific and specialized training, as well as necessary in these times, to be able to face the challenges that arise in the near future. The main objective of this program is to provide the professional of this sector with the necessary tools for a better optimization of resources.

Professional Master's Degree in Aquaculture

The fishing activity produces annually more than 90 million tons of food, but the total amount of fish we consume does not come from it; between 46 and 52% is raised by aquaculture production that increases every year. This is where veterinary medicine plays a very important role, as it is required to supervise and regulate both the quality and integrity of the species and the environmental impact. Through the Professional Master's Degree in Aquaculture offered by TECH Global University, you will be able to perform this task under the highest curricular standards and with a full confidence that only our intensive syllabus can offer you. We will teach you the types of aquaculture crops, aquaponics, advanced physiology of fish, mollusks, crustaceans and algae, selection of raw materials and nutrition, reproduction, biotechnology and genetics, diseases in aquatic species, among other topics of great interest. The lessons are a great advantage, as they are structured in a 100% online format of self-regulated learning, based on advanced teaching methodologies. With TECH, catching a promising future is just a click away.

In a few decades we will add ten billion inhabitants around the planet, according to several demographic projections. This represents a high increase in food production. A considerable percentage of animal protein comes from the ocean, so two serious drawbacks arise: first, it would be necessary to increase fishing exploitation, compromising the ecosystem, and second, the fish processing industry would not be able to meet the high demand. Is there a way out? Yes. According to the Seafood Expo Global held in Barcelona, Spain in April 2022, aquaculture solves both problems. Now you can incorporate it into your curriculum without having to leave your home, being tutored by an excellently qualified faculty and supported by state-of-the-art graphic and interactive material that will motivate you to enhance your analytical skills. Are you passionate about aquariums, ponds and fish veterinary science? Then enroll now and find out why we are the world's number one online university.
