DTU Aqua offers a training course in Salt Water Recirculation Aquaculture Technology for the Baltic Sea Region from Saturday 5th - Wednesday 9th October 2013.
The course is addressed to participants from the Baltic Sea Region and is part of project Aquabest of the Baltic Sea Region Programme 2007-2013.
The primary aim of the course is to transfer knowledge on recirculation aquaculture technology to fish farmers.
The course is targeted at consultants and representatives of core aquaculture organizations within the region, in order for them to disseminate the acquired knowledge to local fish farmers and to stimulate establishment of new recirculation aquaculture companies.
The course will provide the participants the ability to:
•Recognize central water treatment components in salt water RAS
•Identify suboptimal water quality and assess
corresponding actions
•Apply treatment components for solids removal and dissolved matter
•Distinguish nitrification from denitrification and compare important factors influencing both processes
•Describe effects of feed loading and feed composition
Participation in the training course incl. lodging, meals and course material is paid by the DTU Aqua Aquabest budget. However, travelling costs to Hirtshals (turn/return) must be covered by the individual participant.
