Welcome to the Aquatic Resource Management (AP2124) module. This course aims at introducing principles of Limnology, aquaculture and fisheries management to students so as to prepare them for in-depth understanding of the 3 components of the modules. Students are expected to be familiar with aquaculture and fisheries terminologies, culture and fishing techniques, and infrastructure needed for aquaculture productions and capture fisheries, as well as understand freshwater abiotic and biotic factors that influence life in water. At the end of the module students should be able to propose solutions to problems encountered during aquaculture activities, and aquatic bodies (rivers, lakes, dams, marshland) management.
This module will provide students with an understanding of the fundamental role of a proper and rational feeding program in livestock production. We will focus on the importance of nutritional requirements in livestock feeding ; nutrient metabolism; role of animal’s stage of growth or production in feeding, influence of genetic capacity and health on feeds requirement ; major classes of animal feedstuffs, feeding facilities, cause and consequences of nutrients deficiencies
