Presentation
Aquaculture has supplanted fishing in the supply of seafood for human consumption worldwide. The controlled production of aquatic organisms plays a crucial role in alleviating the growing need for sustainably produced aquatic foods.
The aim of this course is to train future scientists with a broad range of skills across the entire fisheries and aquaculture sector, with a view to ensuring responsible aquaculture production and fishing, and ecosystem-based management of aquatic resources and environments.
The AQUADURA program is a professionalization programthat enables students to enter the job market directly after graduation. Continuation into a thesis is very marginal, and is mainly in R&D or integrated management fields. It is open to apprentices in M1 and M2.

Objectives
Its objectives are to train students in (i) aquaculture production, its management and management, (ii) fisheries, (iii) the development and management of aquatic bioresources as well as (iv) the integrated management of the environments exploited by these activities
Cultivation practices, the development of new sectors of activity and the fields of research and development are targeted in this course.
Particular attention will be given to the sustainability of practices and approaches in the context of increasing exploitation of aquatic bioresources and climate change
Know-how and skills
It is a multidisciplinary training course that aims to provide the necessary foundations for:
- Understand the dynamics of living resources and aquatic ecosystems and their interactions,
- Be able to analyse the functioning of operating systems, from upstream to downstream of the sectors,
- Develop a critical understanding of aquaculture development and principles,
- Produce species in different aquaculture production systems, in a sustainable way, taking into account epidemiological, environmental and welfare regulations,
- Integrated assessment and management of human impact on exploited aquatic ecosystems
- Assess, exploit and sustainably manage aquatic bioresources,
Contribute to cutting-edge research on the development of practices and the valorization of aquatic bioresources
International dimension
M1 and M2 internships can be carried out abroad.

Program
Year of M1: common to four courses of the "Environmental Management" Mention (RAINET', IEGB, Aquadura, ComBiodiv). This year allows students to acquire the scientific bases, particularly in ecology and biostatistics. Optional UEs also allow students to start specialising.
The M2 is very specialized with courses in production, fisheries, law, quality management and project management.
The AQUADURA master's degree is open to initial, continuing and apprenticeship training.
Internships and tutored projects :
M1 internship: 4.5 to 6 months which can be done in France or abroad
M2 internship: 6 months which can be done in France or abroad

Bridges and reorientation
At the end of the Master 1 in Environmental and Biodiversity Management, the student who has acquired his or her 180 ECTS can request to be redirected towards another Master 2 course with a specialization in Environmental Management than the one in which he or she had applied to enter Master 1 (among Rainet', ComBiodiv, IEGB and AQUADURA). However, this reorientation will be subject to the approval of the pedagogical managers of the course in question.
