3.00 Credits
A survey course designed to introduce students to the wide diversity of aquatic organisms cultured for food, sport, and ornamental value. We will study aquaculture systems from different parts of the world and discuss some of the current research trends in the field. Credits: 3 Offered Semester I Prerequisite: None
-
1.00 Credits
This is a course intended for familiarizing students in the aquaculture major with large-scale aquaculture systems, particularly the complex day-to-day operations. There will be no prescribed textbook; instead seventy-five percent of the course will be taught by technical experts in the field of aquaculture. The method of delivery will be in the form of guest lectures. Credits: 1 Offered Semester I Prerequisite: AF 1003
-
2.00 Credits
External anatomy, organs, and major systems of important fish species. These systems will also be dealt with at the cellular level. This course provides the basic background for both Fish Disease/Pathology and Applied Fish Physiology. Credits: 2 Offered Semester II Prerequisite: BI 1014
-
4.00 Credits
The mechanics of controlling biological and physical environment of aquatic organisms at the mass production scale is the subject matter covered in this course. Computer simulations of pond-stocking levels and feeding schedules as well as exercises in designing and siting hatchery and rearing facilities will be discussed in lecture and laboratory meetings. Two one-day field trips are planned. Credits: 4 Offered Semester II Prerequisites: BI 1024, AF 1003 Alternate years odd
-
3.00 Credits
The physiological basis for control and manipulation of fish reproduction and growth will be examined in this course. Lectures will briefly examine the hormone and enzyme systems of various fish families as they occur in a natural setting and develop in detail an understanding for the role these systems play in successful aquaculture. The use of diet additives, manipulated photoperiods, and hormone-induced spawning will be some of the topics discussed. Credits: 3 Offered Semester I Prerequisites: AF 2112 and either BI 3233 or BI 3254 Alternate years odd
-
4.00 Credits
Successful fish management is based on careful evaluation of fish populations. This course is designed to teach the methods of fish assessment, from sampling of individuals to evaluation of stock characteristics. Students will learn to use a variety of sampling gear and will become familiar with the analytical techniques of sample collection and processing. The second half of the course is devoted to fishery science, which means using the data collected to assess fish populations. Freshwater and marine fisheries are discussed, as well as the problems of both commercial and recreational fisheries. Laboratories emphasize fish collection, sample processing, and research planning. Long day trips can be expected. Two weekend trips will be planned. Credits: 4 Offered Semester I Prerequisites: EH 1113, BI 1024, CS 1222 or CS 1232, MA 2243 and Junior status
-
4.00 Credits
Detailed discussion of the etiology, distribution, epizootiology, clinical signs, diagnosis, therapy, and control of the principal diseases of major cultivated species of cold water and warm water fish. Credits: 4 Offered Semester I Prerequisites: BI 1024, AF 2112, BI 3654 Alternate years even
-
3.00 Credits
Methods for the diagnosis of the principal diseases of bacterial, mycotic, nutritional, parasitic, and viral etiology in cultured and wild fish will be discussed in detail. Collection and preservation of samples of fish and fish tissue for diagnostic purposes and necropsy procedures will be emphasized. Credits: 3 Offered Semester II Prerequisite: AF 3334 Alternate years odd
-
3.00 Credits
This is a study of culture as a human creation: its origins, development or evolution, and possible future. The course covers the range of variation in human life-styles and basic cultural similarities. There will be an examination of selected tribal, peasant, and industrial cultures, with an emphasis on how biological, cultural, and ecological factors shape them. Comparative technology, kinship, social structure, religion, magic, art, economics, cultural change, and applied anthropology will be discussed. Credits: 3 Offered Semester I Prerequisite: LR 1013 Alternate years even
-
3.00 Credits
This course discusses the past and present conditions of Native Americans north of Mexico. Their physical and archaeological origins and linguistic affiliations will be discussed. Selected descriptions of several tribes, histories and present situations, white myths and Indian realities, Native American magic, religion and spirituality, land claims; pan-Indianism, and politics are also included in this course. Credits: 3 Offered Semester II Prerequisite: None
