Department of Marine Biotechnology
“From Ocean Insights to Aquatic Innovations – Skilling Learners in Marine Bio-Industries and Sustainable Aquaculture.”
Introduction
The Department of Marine Biotechnology at Aspire Tech Park offers an industry-driven platform for learners to explore and apply marine biological tools, aquaculture technologies, and sustainable bioproduct development. Focused on shrimp, fish, seaweed, microalgae, and microbial resources, this department trains students, scholars, and entrepreneurs in bioactive extraction, aquatic diagnostics, feed innovations, and eco-friendly aquaculture interventions Courses emphasize not only bioresource exploration but also product development for real-world challenges: disease outbreaks, feed conversion efficiency, water quality, and sustainable marine farming.
Currently Active
Hands-on and virtual programs in marine product extraction, aquaculture diagnostics, and sustainable feed innovation are available.
Courses Under Validation
Sustainable shrimp feed formulation, probiotic-based disease control solutions, and integrated marine farming modules are in expert review.
