Training in the Use of the Fish and Chips Tool - (ONGOING distance learning) - NOW CLOSED
Course provider: Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (IN
RA)
Location: Online Course. Full details on access will be provided after registration.
Format: This training course will make use of a blend of delivery methodologies; the 4 modules will be visually and orally presented, guided through PowerPoint. The course includes a practical exercise in the form of a case study through which participants can practice their newly acquired knowledge of the FISH & CHIPS tool. Course tutors can be approached by email for any questions regarding the course or material and an online message board will give all participants the chance to interact and discuss FAQs.Course overview
How do you improve analysis and functional interpretation of transcriptomic data? Training in the use of the FISH & CHIPS tool can help! FISH & CHIPS is a database containing public transcriptomic data related to fish species in various physiological conditions. The bioinformatic tool can be used to extract genes which would have similar expression patterns and thus could be characteristic of fish biological responses. By comparing data obtained in your experiment with data sets of microarrays or RNAseq obtained in various fish species, we can find a common transcriptional signature. Information given by samples of each experiment with a common signature is a powerful way to explore functional roles associated with these signatures. This training course presents the FISH & CHIPS tool and explains how to carry out such meta-analysis and interpret your set of genomic data. To view the full course leaflet click here.
Date & Time
The course will be available online from December 2019 until September 2020.

Using Modelling of scale effects as a tool for experimental design - (ONGOING distance learning) - NOW CLOSED
Course provider: SINTEF Ocean AS (SINTEF)
Location: Online Course. Full details on access will be provided after registration.
Format: Two lecture series of about 1h and 1.5h respectively, in videoCourse overview
This course will train researchers in the use of numerical models as efficient tools for designing experiments and gaining a better understanding of the interaction between biological and physical factors within aquaculture research, including growth, nutrition, waste production, water quality, water treatment and hydrodynamic flow fields. Participants will gain an understanding of the theoretical background for the numerical models used and an understanding of the practical use of the models in aquaculture research. For more information about this course see the Course Leaflet here
Date & Time
The course will be available online from 30 January 2019 until September 2020. From 30 to 31 January 2019 the course teachers and experts will be online and available for direct interaction and immediate troubleshooting. From 1st February 2019, the teachers can be approached by email in case of questions.
Course Tutors:
Martin Fore - Associate Professor at NTNU
Dr Føre has significant experience within modelling and simulation of fish in aquaculture situations and has published several papers on modelling fish behaviour in sea-cages. He was a post-doctoral research examining the scaling experiments completed in the FP7 project AQUAEXCEL and played a key role in developing the Precision Fish Farming concept, where the use of mathematical models as tools is an important element. In AQUAEXCEL2020, he works with model development.
Morten O. Alver - Associate Professor at NTNU
Dr Alver has focused most of his research on marine modelling, ranging from oceanographic modelling of coastal current systems to the distribution of feed pellets inside fish cages. He was also a central researcher in the scaling experiments in AQUAEXCEL and was involved in developing Precision Fish Farming. His role in AQUAEXCEL2020 is to develop mathematical models.
Finn Olav Bjørnson - Research Scientist at SINTEF
Dr Bjørnson is an expert on software development and has worked on research and development solutions for remote monitoring on fish farming sites in Norway. He is the main architect behind the virtual laboratory that is developed in AQUAEXCEL2020 and that will be used in the exercises associated with this course.
