Welcome to
The Academy
GAA's Online Learning Library for Aquaculture and Seafood Professionals
The Global Aquaculture Academy hosts a number of courses related to the aquaculture industry. Our courses are categorized by the four pillars of responsible aquaculture: Food Safety, Social Accountability, Animal Health and Welfare, and Environmental Responsibility. Courses that do not fit in those categories can be found in the "Other" category, and do not require an account for enrollment.
The courses on this site are intended to highlight and teach best practices regarding these four pillars to improve productivity, lower negative environmental and social impacts, and ensure a safe, high quality aquaculture product.
