BIO-3602: Pharmacology Work Load
10 credits (ECTS) | Objectives
The course will give students an overview of general pharmacological mechanisms and principles, with special emphasis on fish in aquaculture. The importance of how environmental factors, such as temperature and salinity, affect pharmacokinetics fish is emphasized. Knowledge regarding prescription of drugs to aquatic organisms is included. | Contents
The course gives an introduction to basic pharmacological mechanisms and principles in mammals and fish. The pharmacology of the most important drugs used in aquaculture (anaesthetics, antibiotics, antiseptics and antiparasitic drugs) will be addressed. The effect of anatomical, physiological, chemical, and environmental factors on absorbtion, distribution, and elimination of drugs is covered. Toxicological and environmental effects of these drugs will be examined. The course will also provide the students with basic knowledge of Norwegian laws regarding prescription of drugs, with special emphasis on drugs used in aquaculture.
The laboratory course will give students knowledge regarding anaestesia of fish and analytical methods used in pharmacokinetic studies.
