Presentation

Phytoplankton form the basis of aquatic food chains. This 3-day course covers the fundamentals of microalgae production in a controlled environment, as well as techniques for identifying samples from the natural environment.

Micro-certifications are short, themed training modules accessible to all, designed to provide direct, practical access to our scientific and technical expertise. They combine theoretical courses in immersion with our learners with individualized practical work carried out on our aquaculture facilities.
These micro-certifications hatch key skills on a targeted subject in just a few hours, enabling everyone to rapidly gain autonomy in putting them into practice.
