The curriculum follows the entire life cycle of a fish lot in a hatchery setting. Students explore the techniques and calculations most often used in the aquaculture industry including egg enumeration and handling, egg incubation, hatching methods, sac-fry care, managing fish from fry to catchable size, brood stock management, and fish stocking. Students also will investigate factors that affect fish behavior including; biological and environmental conditions, stress and pathogens, basic water chemistry, and rearing units utilized for egg incubation and fish rearing. Finally, students will calculate egg and fish inventories, determine rearing capacities, and project parameters affecting fish distribution and stocking. The course curriculum will include a balance of applied fisheries science and the practical art of fish culture. Objectives Upon completion of this course, you will be able to: enumerate both green and eyed eggs recognize the signs of over-feeding and under-feeding identify normal and abnormal fish behaviors manipulate fish growth to achieve a desired size on a given date calculate and develop a 90 day feed order calculate density index and flow index and utilize them to predict when to thin a lot of fish utilize basic genetic principles to develop a captive brood stock recognize the signs and causes of stress in fish Matthew Patterson (USFWS)

This is an introductory course that explores all husbandry activities associated
with coldwater fish culture. The curriculum follows the entire life cycle of a fish
lot in a hatchery setting. Students explore the techniques and calculations most
often used in the aquaculture industry including egg enumeration and handling,
egg incubation, hatching methods, sac-fry care, managing fish from fry to
catchable size, brood stock management, and fish stocking. Students also will
investigate factors that affect fish behavior including; biological and
environmental conditions, stress and pathogens, basic water chemistry, and rearing
units utilized for egg incubation and fish rearing. Finally, students will calculate
egg and fish inventories, determine rearing capacities, and project parameters
affecting fish distribution and stocking. The course curriculum will include a
balance of applied fisheries science and the practical art of fish culture.
Objectives Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
