BI-S00 Year Abroad (Bioscience)
Study at a partner institution abroad.
-
BIO335 Fisheries and aquaculture
This module provides an introduction to the operation and management of commercial fisheries with particular relevance to the current over-exploitation and decline of most commercial fish stocks, and the potential for changing this situation by using aquaculture
-
BIOM37B Conservation of Aquatic Resources
The module will identify major issues in the conservation of aquatic organisms and develop the knowledge base of students in aquatic conservation, including those related to captive breeding programmes and the potential effects of climate change and other stressors. Some of the lectures/seminars are given by invited experts in the field. The module is assessed by a combination of continuous assessment (50%) and written examination (50%).
