AQS 262 - Aquarium System Design and Life Support and Lab

Institution:

Roger Williams University

Subject:

AQUACULTURE AND AQUARIUM SCIENCE

Description:

There is a strong and broad-based need from many education,research and commercial organizations for information on theplanning, design, construction and operation of seawater systems.Unfortunately, an understanding of biology or engineering alone isnot likely to result in a practical, working system design. Biologistsgenerally do not understand the mechanical and hydraulic aspectsof design, while engineers do not typically appreciated the biologicalconsiderations. This course is intended to provide the technicalknowledge and practical experience that will enable students todesign successful systems on a variety of scales. Lecture portion willfocus on design issues, while laboratory will concentrate on waterquality and toxicity as part of the need to provide life support toseawater systems.
