Online Responsible Aquaculture Foundation (RAF) courses on managing major shrimp diseases at aquaculture farms and hatcheries are now available in Chinese, Vietnamese and Spanish.
The translated versions of Managing Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei at Shrimp Farms, Managing Enterocytozoon hepatopenaei at Shrimp Hatcheries, Managing Early Mortality Syndrome at Shrimp Farms and Managing Early Mortality Syndrome at Shrimp Hatcheries are now available at http://edu.responsibleaqua.org.
The online material can be viewed free of charge by PC, tablet or smart phone. From the home page, users can select translated versions of the page that includes links to the new courses.
“Users around the world have already taken the RAF courses in English,” RAF president George Chamberlain said. “These translations will now deliver this important information to additional regions hit by these diseases. That’s our goal — to get the courses to those who need them, both online and through regional coordination with partner groups.”
Hanaqua Tech Inc. recently became the first licensed supporter of the RAF Education Program. The Taiwan-based aquafeed and technical service company has been incorporating RAF material in its customer workshops.
The Responsible Aquaculture Foundation is developing additional courses to help the global aquaculture industry better manage animal and system health. RAF’s ongoing goal is to create educational materials that address a full range of aquaculture topics with embedded learning checks and other functionality.
