Each culture has specific characteristics that are necessary to know in order to apply the appropriate nutrients to each species" 

The management and knowledge of nutrition in different aquatic species can be one of the fundamental factors that determine the good yield of a culture, while a poor management of this aspect can be reflected in low aquaculture production.  

In the current circumstances, where the use of chemicals and antibiotics is increasingly limited, it becomes more necessary to master the application of nutrients and additives in the manufacture of feed used in the aquaculture industry.   

The study of the intestinal microbiota of fish, for example, is also an important development in Aquaculture Nutrition . Currently, there is a lot of information about their composition, abundance, diversity and activity and how to make use of this knowledge to improve culture yields, since these microbes have important implications on the health of the host, its development, well-being and, above all, on its nutrition.  

In addition, it must be taken into account that each type of culture has different characteristics, and therefore each species has a specific set of requirements in terms of nutrition. 

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.
