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.

In marine installations it is not necessary to design the path of the water in the installation, but it is no less important to know 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 production 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 is essential that all staff have a perfect knowledge of the work protocol in their area of operation, and that they report daily to supervisors or foremen.

It is also important to know the specific regulations governing this type of facility, as a source of food, employment and profitability, and to ensure, as all current legislation stipulates, the sustainable use of resources (soil, water, aquatic organisms) and to optimize economic benefits while preserving the environment and biodiversity.

But we must not forget that aquaculture facilities are, above all, a business, so it is a fundamental factor to have the appropriate knowledge to ensure the viability of the project, taking into account the microeconomic and macroeconomic factors. Therefore, this postgraduate diploma focuses on the economics and economic-financial management of the production process in the aquaculture company.

This postgraduate diploma provides students with specialized tools and skills to successfully develop their professional activity in the wide 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. In addition, as it is an online postgraduate diploma, the student is not constrained by fixed timetables or the need to move to another physical location, but can access the contents at any time of the day, balancing his or her work or personal life with their academic life.
