About This Course
The Aquaculture Production, Fisheries Management & Blue Economy Enterprise Development Training Course is a premium, competency-based programme designed to equip aquaculture producers, fisheries professionals, marine scientists, extension officers, researchers, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and development practitioners with advanced knowledge and practical skills to develop productive, climate-resilient, and commercially viable aquatic food systems. The programme integrates sustainable aquaculture production, fisheries management, aquatic animal health, precision aquaculture, hatchery management, nutrition, water quality management, digital aquaculture technologies, blue economy principles, seafood value chains, enterprise development, and environmental stewardship. Participants learn to optimize aquatic food production while conserving aquatic ecosystems, improving profitability, and strengthening food and nutrition security. Through practical demonstrations, field visits, digital monitoring applications, case studies, and business planning exercises, participants develop innovative aquaculture and fisheries enterprises that support sustainable livelihoods, resilient food systems, and blue economy transformation.
