Reproductive strategies of selected warm water finfish and shellfish will be examined and linked to the mass production of their seed for culture purposes.  Students will study the techniques of hybridization and selective breeding, as well as monosex fish production.  Hands-on activities will include spawning induction, artificial fertilization, and rearing. Stocking of ponds, cages and pens will be undertaken as well as evaluation of substrates for settlement of oyster spat. The control of species introductions and escape of farmed animals will be discussed.
