Course Goal

The main purpose of this course is to teach the molecular techniques that will enable the most common parasites to be detected in economically valuable fish farming, faster than conventional parasite diagnosis methods, and to apply the right treatment as soon as possible.

Course Content

In this course, molecular techniques used for species identification of fish parasites are explained.

Course Precondition

none
