This course will provide students to develop
knowledge among students about the fish’s immune system, its interaction with
fish pathogens and responses to stimulation and vaccines. This knowledge is developed through lectures,
individual or group work, written assignment submissions and through laboratory
courses. Course provides an overview of
the immune system in fish with emphasis on aquaculture species. The student will
learn about the different organs,cells and molecules and how these work and
collaborate, and how cells and functions are regulated and stimulated. The
students are especially to develop knowledge about vaccines and immune
stimulants for aquatic organisms with emphasis on the immune prophylaxis for
aquaculture species.
This module is basically concerning quantitative statistical methodologies that are used for analyzing quantitative data derived from commonly conducted biological experiments. Topics covered in this course also include basic experimental design for biological experiments conducted in the field or under controlled conditions in the laboratory or other such setting. Real data from the field and laboratory experiments will be used in all statistical tests carried out. Computer cum tutorial classes will be conducted to demonstrate how the statistical analyses are carried out using popular statistical software programs and to discuss the results obtained. This course will give focus on the application of the quantitative analytical skills to solve real world problems.
This course aims to introduce economically important seaweed species and their biology; to highlight the abundance of seaweed species in Malaysia and its potentials; to teach some basic culture techniques, and an understanding of the challenges and problems in the seaweed industry. Lectures will focus on the fundamentals of phycology and introduction of varieties of economically important seaweed species that are being cultivated around the world. An in-depth preview of seaweed diversity in Malaysia with emphasis on the availability of seaweed resources as a lucrative seaweed-based industry will be given. Selected topics on seaweed variety, distribution, and the biological features of local seaweeds; seaweed culture practices and state-of-the-art protoplast generation techniques; harvesting, seaweed diseases and post-harvest practices; extraction of commercially important carrageenan and the problems faced in this industry will be discussed. To put theory into practice and allow students to gain "real world" experience, this course will apply the SULAM's (Service-Learning Malaysia - University for Society) pedagogy.
