-Planktonology and aquatic productivity is an advanced course in aquatic ecology and productivity that focuses on the study of plankton and its relationship to aquaculture. This hybrid learning course builds upon the foundational knowledge of aquatic biology and aquatic ecology, which are prerequisites for enrollment. You will learn about the taxonomy, morphology and ecology of different types of plankton, as well as their role in aquatic productivity and food webs. The course will cover the various factors that influence plankton growth and productivity, including nutrient availability, light, temperature, and water quality. Additionally, you will explore the complex interactions between plankton and other organisms in aquaculture systems and the importance of maintaining a balanced ecosystem for sustainable aquaculture production. The course will include online lectures, discussions, and assignments, as well as hands-on laboratory and fieldwork opportunities. Additionally, the course may cover different methods for monitoring and controlling plankton populations to optimize growth and minimize environmental impacts. Planktonology and aquatic productivity is an essential subject for students interested the aquatic resources management course.
