Aquaculture professionals must have extensive knowledge in Reproductive Aquaculture to protect and maintain the sector" 

Reproduction activities are of paramount importance in aquaculture work. Reproductive models in larval and fry rearing facilities differ according to the species, and therefore have to be adapted to the rearing needs of each species. Therefore, it is essential to know the general characteristics of the reproductive processes, as well as the particularities of each species. 

One of the main factors to take into account in fish reproduction is the action of sex hormones. A specialized knowledge of their mechanisms of action and their regulation will allow us to use them as an essential tool to achieve good results in reproduction facilities. 

The use of artificial fertilization techniques involves various mechanisms to implement them, so it is necessary to examine in depth the procedures for obtaining male and female gametes, as well as their subsequent cryopreservation. These techniques also allow certain types of chromosomal manipulation that can provide certain reproductive advantages. 

The reproduction of mollusks and crustaceans, as well as plant elements such as algae, are of great importance in this course, since their knowledge is essential for professionals in the sector. It should also be noted that biotechnology and genetics in aquaculture have made a great contribution to the production of aquaculture species in order to continue progressing and contributing to a more efficient and biosustainable production of aquaculture species. 

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. In addition, as it is an online postgraduate certificate, 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.
