Fisheries Science

The Earth is an Aquatic Planet

With growing populations and increased food demands in the world, fishery resources have a vital role to play in the supply of bioresources. Aquatic organisms living in marine and freshwater environments are important bioresources providing not only food but also unique compounds that can be used as medical and industrial materials for human welfare and environmental conservation. Studies in aquatic biosciences include advanced lectures and various field and laboratory activities in marine biosciences and biotechnology to produce experts on fisheries and related biosciences.
