Overview
The Erasmus Mundus in Science in Health Management in Aquaculture program offered by Autonomous University of Barcelona contributes to the sustainable supply of healthy and tasty seafood by training experts that are able to develop innovative solutions to current and future health and disease problems in the aquaculture industry.
The aquaculture sector has seen a massive increase in production over the past 35 years thanks to major technological and biotechnological advances. The ever-continuing intensification in aquaculture systems, along with an increased production scale has, however, inevitably resulted in the increased occurrence of disease outbreaks. This has created a high need for aquaculture health management experts that can respond to the growing demand for solution to health challenges in the aquaculture industry and contribute to a growing, innovative sector that is key to the world’s food needs.
