Master's Degree Aquaculture

The increase in the global population and the growing demand for healthier foods, such as fish and seafood, has led to the need to boost the production of these foods. However, the seas and oceans are not unlimited, which means that fishing is subject to a series of restrictions and recommendations that must be followed to protect the environment and ensure the sustainability of species. It is in this context that aquaculture production becomes highly important, as it allows for meeting demand without damaging the ecosystem. In this program, we offer the most comprehensive market specialization in aquaculture, so that you can train in this rapidly growing sector with great future potential.

Introduction to the Program

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

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 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.

Master's Degree in Aquaculture

The fishing industry produces more than 90 million tons of food annually, but not all of the fish we consume comes from it; between 46% and 52% is raised through aquaculture production, which continues to grow each year. This is where veterinary science plays a crucial role, as it is necessary to supervise and regulate both the quality and integrity of species and their environmental impact. Through the Master’s in Aquaculture offered by TECH Global University, you will be able to carry out this work to the highest curricular standards, with the full security that only our intensive curriculum can provide. We will teach you about types of aquaculture farming, aquaponics, advanced fish physiology, mollusks, crustaceans, algae, raw material selection and nutrition, reproduction, biotechnology, genetics, diseases in aquatic species, and other highly relevant topics. The lessons provide a significant advantage, as they are structured in a 100% online, self-regulated learning format based on advanced academic methodologies. With TECH, fishing for a promising future is just a click away.

In just a few decades, the world’s population will reach ten billion, according to various demographic projections. This represents a significant increase in food production. A considerable percentage of animal-based proteins comes from the ocean, which presents two serious problems: first, it would require increasing fishing exploitation, compromising the ecosystem, and second, the fish processing industry would not be able to meet the high demand. Is there a solution? Yes. According to the Seafood Expo Global held in Barcelona, Spain, in April 2022, aquaculture solves both problems.
