Provides an overview of crustacean and zooplankton culture in Australia and South East Asia. The unit covers theoretical and practical aspects of aquaculture practices for commercially important crustaceans including marine and freshwater prawns, freshwater crayfish and mud crabs as well as those with significant aquaculture potential such as rock lobsters. Zooplankton such as brine shrimp (Artemia) and rotifers are important live feeds in the hatchery culture of many species and their biology and culture practices are also covered. Students develop an understanding of applied biology and culture techniques for each species and gain an appreciation of current trends and important industry issues.
