The aim of the course:
To understand the possible effects of various fishing gears and other fisheries activities such as aquaculture, fish processing and enhencement on coastal ecosystems, development and application of environmental friendly fishing methods and fishing gear.
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : explain the effects of fishing gear on coastal ecosystem.1,2,3,4,5,61,3,5
PO - 2 : advice to use environmental friendly fishing gear and methods in order to protect coastal environment.1,2,3,4,61,3,5
PO - 3 : establish the measures to minimise the effects of ghost fishing on environment.1,2,3,4,61,3,5
PO - 4 : take part for the management plans and applications to decrease the effect of fishing on coastal fragile ecosystems.1,2,3,4,61,3,5
