Except in the courses that are 100% virtuous, considered these by academic year; and in the cases in which the students have paid this same insurance in a USC degree in the current academic year.)

Curriculum vitae and professional profile. The course is open to professionals in the aquaculture sector.
Objectives
- Participants will be able to identify and understand the general aspects of fish anatomy, histology, biology, and physiology. - Participants will be trained to perform a complete, orderly, and systematic necropsy/dissection, as well as to apply monitoring and diagnostic techniques within a production context. - Participants will develop practical skills to carry out clinical procedures such as proper sample collection.Career options
K0511: Fish anatomyS2.1.2: Perform macroscopic necropsies on animals
S6.3.6: Preserve fish specimens for diagnostic purposes
S2.8.8: Analyze fish samples to carry out diagnoses
S2.8.6: Monitor the sanitary conditions of people and animals
Evaluation
Continuous assessment using a rubric that evaluates various aspects, including both aptitude and attitude. Attendance and active participation in class will also be taken into account.
Tutoring
This is a theoretical-practical course delivered in person, with a strong emphasis on hands-on training. The theoretical module will cover basic aspects of anatomy, histology, biology, and physiology of relevant aquaculture species. Additionally, the importance of pathological anatomy as a diagnostic tool will be highlighted through the presentation of practical cases illustrated with abundant iconography. In the practical part of the course, participants will carry out non-lethal diagnostic techniques (such as skin and gill scrapings, imprints, fresh preparations, etc.), necropsies, and sample collection for various types of analytical techniques (including blood samples). This will allow participants to become familiar with fish anatomy and organography, identify and characterize lesions, perform complete, orderly, and systematic necropsies/dissections, and collect samples for diagnostic purposes. This approach is essential for disease prevention and control, contributing to animal health, food safety, and environmental sustainability, in line with the principles of the One Health framework. The teaching staff includes two professors from USC, specialists in aquatic animal health, and two predoctoral researchers from the Department of Anatomy, Animal Production, and Veterinary Clinical Sciences: Roberto Bermúdez Pose (full university professor and European diplomate in ECAAH), Ana Manuela de Azevedo (assistant professor and European diplomate in ECAAH), Martín Pérez (predoctoral researcher), and Xoel Souto (predoctoral researcher). The course will be taught in English.
