Eligibility
Fisheries Science can be studied at the graduate and postgraduate level. The eligibility criteria vary for different countries. Fisheries science is typically taught in a university setting, and can be the focus of an undergraduate, master's or Ph.D. program. Some universities offer fully integrated programs in fisheries science.Fisheries Science programs are often coupled with Wildlife Management programs and students should expect to study a core of programs focused on biology and ecology, including freshwater and marine environments. Coursework in most programs will also cover nutrition, disease, habitat management, technology, population dynamics, research techniques, and an emphasis on field work and experience. Beyond the environmental curricula, students should expect to take courses aimed at developing computer skills and statistical analysis.
Those who have taken fishery science as a career must possess a genuine interest in marine life and should be free from sea sickness. The field requires a lot of research work and one should have research oriented mentality. Dedication to work, devotion, hard working, patients, and a curious, inquisitive mind are essential. The main objective of fisheries science is to make available the much needed technically competent extension personnel for transfer of technology.
