Type of course
Course contents
The subject is research driven and will have a practical approach to current and ongoing topics with in the blue industry. The following themes are included:
Aquaculture and seafood production: Process, automation, and measurement technology used in fisheries, aquaculture, and seafood production. Industrial animal welfare and selected measurement methods related to fish physiology and food quality.
Marine and fisheries acoustics: Physical and biological principles of hydroacoustic detection and measurement of marine organisms. Scientific echo sounders and fishery sonars will be described and demonstrated. Multibeam echo sounders and sub-bottom profiling sonar, as well as the basic principles of seabed seismology, are included.
Subsea and underwater drone technology: Use of drones in blue research, such as remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous vehicles. Subsea instrumentation, instrument platforms, landers, and underwater communication.
Instrumentation and environmental monitoring: Blue environmental monitoring for aquaculture, fisheries, oil and gas, as well as subsea mineral extraction and construction. Instruments for oceanographic measurements, hydrophones, and selected topics within remote sensing are included.
