Learning Outcomes of UE

To master techniques in aquariology. After a theoretical introduction to aquariology, students will learn how to manage an artificial mesocosm, and will elaborate their own project to create and manage (possibly virtually) their own mesocosm. A critical inspection of the scientific litterature will be done too.

Content of UE

Aquariology, filtration techniques, maintenance and reproduction of aquatic organisms. Artificial mesocosms: design and maintenance.

Prior Experience

Marine ecology and basic chemistry. The General Oceanography course is co-required.
