BSc. AQUATIC SCIENCE AND FISHERIES

Aquatic Science is the study of the scientific principles governing water bodies such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and wetlands, as well as the living organisms and ecological processes within them. It explores aquatic ecosystems, water quality, marine and freshwater biodiversity, hydrology, and the interactions between aquatic environments and human activities. This program equips students with the scientific knowledge and practical skills necessary to address pressing challenges in aquatic conservation, sustainable fisheries management, and responsible aquaculture (fish farming). Through theoretical instruction, laboratory analysis, and field based training, students gain competencies in water resource assessment, aquatic ecosystem management, and biodiversity conservation. The program is highly relevant to national and global priorities, including food security, climate change adaptation, environmental protection, and sustainable use of aquatic resources. Graduates are well prepared for careers in fisheries management, aquaculture enterprises, environmental monitoring agencies, marine and freshwater conservation organizations, research institutions, and water resource management sectors.
