Program Summary

Fisheries is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the management, conservation, and sustainable exploitation of aquatic resources, particularly fish and other marine organisms. It combines elements of biology, ecology, economics, and environmental science to address the challenges of ensuring that fish populations remain healthy while supporting the livelihoods of people who depend on them. The course covers a variety of topics, including aquatic ecosystems, fish biology, population dynamics, aquatic habitats, and the social and economic aspects of fisheries management. Students learn about fishing techniques, aquaculture, policy development, and the impact of human activities on marine and freshwater environments. Additionally, the course often includes studies on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems and strategies for restoring damaged habitats. The ultimate goal is to promote sustainable practices that balance environmental health with economic and social benefits.
