Aquaculture and Fisheries
The integrated aquaculture and fisheries program combines the tradition of preparing fisheries biologists and fisheries technicians for federal, state and private agencies and conservation groups with the education in the multi-faceted aspects of aquaculture. Our students are sought by employers and graduate schools because the curriculum provides opportunities for students to become proficient in basic biological and physical sciences while giving them theoretical and practical exposure to the fields of aquaculture and fisheries sciences. Students also develop an appreciation for the intricacies of aquaculture production, fisheries management, and fish pathology.
