Courses--Aquabio

Course

To meet with the continuing development of the aquatic biotechnology and aquaculture industry, the Department of Aquatic Biosciences is conducting various academic research and practical skills training under the principle of aquatic ecology conservation. Additionally, one of our missions is to cultivate our students into becoming research personnel in life sciences and related industries. We have collaborated with professional research teams and fisheries research institutes to enforce academia-industry collaboration and extension service. Therefore, we promote aquatic sciences and biotechnology in Changhua, Yunlin, Chiayi and Tainan areas.
