Fish feed and seafood quality control
The Center of Continuing Education and Lifelong Learning (CCELL) of the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA) welcomes you to the educational program entitled "Fish feed and seafood quality control" with a total occupational duration of 50 hours.
The program will be conducted in the Laboratory of Applied Hydrobiology of the Department of Animal Science at the Agricultural University of Athens and will be implemented using a blended learning approach, distance learning (Synchronous Education) through the CCELL /AUA E-class platform and in-person (participants' physical presence is required).
Scientific Manager of the program is Ms. Eleni Miliou Professor of the Department of Animal Science of the Agricultural University of Athens
Purpose
The current Training Program is implemented within the framework of the action: "External services implementation" of the EU-CONEXUS-RESEARCH FOR SOCIETY (EU-CONEXUS-RFS) program of the European Commission (HORIZON 2020), with the main objective of combining access in advanced research infrastructures and processes, training in how to use them, learning new skills and sharing best practices (job shadowing)
Program necessity
Chemical composition analysis is an important way to assess the nutritional value of fish. These analyzes are necessary to evaluate the quality, nutritional value, energy content, and safety of fish. They provide information for researchers in the fish feed industry and aquaculture, aiding decision-making and ensuring product quality and safety. They contribute to new product development, labeling, and compliance with food safety regulations. Analyzing the chemical composition of fish feeds determines their nutrient composition to ensure the optimal growth of farmed fish. Existing knowledge can contribute to the production of high-quality aquaculture products through the adoption of sustainable practices, promoting improvements in the production process, and protecting the aquatic environment.
