About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to have Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in aquaculture and the lead instructor for the Certificate Programme in Sustainable Carp Farming. Dr. Smith, can you tell us about your experience with sustainable carp farming? GUEST: Absolutely, I've spent over 20 years researching and implementing sustainable practices in aquaculture. Sustainable carp farming is particularly close to my heart as it promotes environmental responsibility and economic viability. HOST: That's fascinating. Could you share some current trends in the aquaculture industry that are relevant to this course? GUEST: Of course. One notable trend is the increasing adoption of integrated multi-trophic aquaculture or IMTA. This approach promotes efficient use of resources and reduces waste, which is a key focus of our course. HOST: It sounds like IMTA is a significant part of the course. What are some challenges faced in teaching or learning this aspect? GUEST: Students often struggle with grasping the complexity of the food web in IMTA. However, we've found that hands-on training and case studies help them understand the concept better. HOST: That's a great approach. Now, looking towards the future, what do you see as the biggest opportunities or challenges in sustainable carp farming? GUEST: The biggest opportunity lies in meeting the global demand for seafood while minimizing environmental impact. The challenge will be to continually innovate and adapt to changing environmental and market conditions. HOST: Dr. Smith, thank you for sharing your insights and giving us a glimpse into the Certificate Programme in Sustainable Carp Farming.
