Overview
Tilapia is one of the most widely farmed fish in the world. This cichlid owes its success to its hardiness and high reproductive capacity, which have greatly contributed to its domestication on a global scale. Using tilapia as a model, this training course provides the essential theoretical foundations in genetics needed for the domestication of species and the preservation of bloodlines. Spanning three days, the course equips participants with the essential knowledge to successfully carry out a domestication process and ensure rigorous genetic management of populations, thereby guaranteeing optimal farming conditions.
Micro-certifications are short, topic-specific training modules open to everyone, designed to provide direct and practical access to our scientific and technical expertise. They combine immersive theoretical courses with our learners and individualized hands-on projects carried out at our aquaculture facilities.
These micro-certifications help learners develop key skills in a specific subject area in just a few hours, enabling everyone to quickly gain autonomy in applying what they’ve learned.
