Within this realm, students will be exposed to all stages of planning and development, from site and species selection to feasibility studies, resource evaluation, hatchery and grow-out technology, and commercialization. The goal of this track is to advance sustainable marine aquaculture and address issues affecting seafood industries.

The program combines classroom lessons with experiential learning at the University of Miami Experimental Hatchery (UMEH) to prepare students for careers in marine aquaculture. Emphasis is placed on the environmental sustainability of commercially important marine fish species, as well as shrimp and mollusks. The mission of the Aquaculture track is to provide students with an interdisciplinary study of sustainable aquaculture and related industries, as well as advanced training on environmental, technological, social, economic, legal, and political aspects of marine aquaculture.
