Staff:

The faculty has ten (10) lectures and four (4) researchers including three (3) professors, five (5) associate professors, one (1) Ph.D., and five (5) masters (1 doctoral student).

Education:

The teaching subjects of the faculty to undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students are hatchery seed production and farming of crustaceans, marine fish, mollusk, shellfish, seaweed, and live food culture.

Research:

The main research fields of the faculty are focused on the development of new applied technologies for seed production and farming systems of important marines and brackish water species such as black tiger shrimp, white leg shrimp, giant freshwater prawn, pompano, eel, kingfish, oyster, mangrove snail, geoduck, seaweed, and artemia.

Training and technology transfer:

The faculty regularly organizes training courses on technology transfer with topics following:

• Seed production of white leg shrimp, black tiger shrimp, giant freshwater prawns, mud crabs, and marine fish in different farming systems such as RAS, and Bio-floc.
• Shrimp farming practices, giant freshwater prawn, marine fish, a mollusk with integrated farming system, RAS, Bio-floc.
• Artemia culture
• Study tour on coastal aquaculture in the Mekong Delta.
