Further comprehension on epidemiology of fish diseases, diagnosis of this diseases and laboratory diagnosis (histopathology examination). Another main topic for this subject is the prevention of fish diseases. Specific knowledge on immunostimulants, anti-bacterial substances from natural bioactive, and chemicals and herbs used for treatment of disease. Students are expected to partake in fish parasites identification practice; which will be conducted by having fish samples from Kedonganan fish market.

The course will cover: (a) ecotourism definition, principles, and criteria; (b) biodiversity conservation, community empowerment, and poverty alleviation through ecotourism; (c) Balinese life philosophy of the Tri Hita Karana (THK); (d) ecotourism products, (e) terrestrial ecotourism; (f) marine ecotourism; (g) agri-ecotourism; (h) eco-lodge, (i) case study in ecotourism and biodiversity conservation; (j) Practical / site visit (may include, but not limited to): Pemuteran (marine conservation and tourism programs), mangrove conservation &amp; mangrove tour (Tahura Ngurah Rai), Subak Sembung (agri-ecotourism), Sanur or Nusa Dua (benthic organism, bio indicator, trekking, bird watching, etc.), Udayana lodge (eco-lodge), Gianyar Botanical Garden (Kebun Raya Gianyar) (plant diversity and traditional way of forest conservation), Kemenuh Butterfly Park.Marine Pollution&nbsp;Credits: 5 ECTSCourse description: This course concern on some aspects of Marine pollution and marine ecosystem destruction. It therefore aims to study: Oceanography and Water quality (Physical, Chemical and biological), Productivity, Global warming, Destructive fishing (catching and pearl clam culture), Oil pollution, Fish feeding pollution (Cage and pond), Physical destruction (tourism activity), IMTA. Field study to: Nusa Dua Lagoon, City Water Installation (Instalasi PDAM) Pemogan and Marine hatchery (Gerokgak).IchthyologyCredits: 5 ECTSCourse description: The main subject of ichthyology is about any aspect of fish, including taxonomy, systematics, and how to identify the fish. Characters of fish will cover meristic and morphometric (scales, fins, total length of body, etc). Another aspect of fish investigated is about reproduction, which includes: oocyte maturation, maturity stages, gonado somatic index (GSI), gonad maturation level, fecundity and gonad anatomy and physiology. Feeding behavior is also a topic covered in this study. It consists of food in relation with environmental aspects of life of fish, i.e dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, pH, temperature, etc, and the culture of fish. Practical work of Ichthyology may include: (1) Identify a number of fish from Kedonganan market fish base on their morphology and meristic characteristics; (2) Determine ovarian development and maturity stages through describing the ovary, gonado somatic index (GSI) and fecundity; (3) Histological examination of the ovary or gonads; (4) Determining Nutrition Value Coeffient (NVC) of fish in Estuary Dam, Denpasar.Tropical Horticulture&nbsp;Credits: 5 ECTSCourse description: Horticulture is the art and science of the cultivation of plants. This course will focus on tropical environmental and physiology of horticultural crops, propagation, and production system, breeding practice, processing and marketing of fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants, and also temperate zone crops adapted to grow in the tropics.

<h2>Study Abroad in Bali - Accommodation</h2>
Bali offers a variety of accommodation alternatives. Students prefer staying in coastal towns like Kuta, Saminyak, Kerobokan or Canggu. We advise students to stay at a hotel for the first one or two weeks in order to have some time for orientation. The best places to look for a hotel are Poppies Lane 1 and 2, which are especially popular with young visitors. In these first two weeks you will have enough time to search for permanent accommodation.
Villa
We provide contact to estate agents who offer a variety of mansions which are mostly rented to students.&nbsp;
Oftentimes, a couple of students team up and rent a mansion together. Usually, the rent is payable monthly and on the whole. Costs for accommodation vary by standards and are between 150 and 350 € in average – of course, the sky is the limit here.
Homestays
If you prefer to get an authentic experience of how Balinese people live, you should chose to live in a homestay. The monthly rent of homestays are usually&nbsp; cheaper than villas.
