Aquaculture and Fisheries is a major in the Bachelor of Applied Science programme. It is a three-year degree that includes a compulsory second subject in a related area – either as a minor or as a double major.
From salmon and mussel farming to wild fish and fishery habitat management, there is substantial industry demand for skilled and innovative individuals with a strong scientific skill set. Aquaculture and fisheries scientists are essential as our production of food from aquatic environments continues to grow rapidly but is increasingly affected by human activities. Fisheries science is the study of managing and understanding fisheries and their impacts.
Aquaculture science enhances aquaculture production, limiting environmental impacts of one of the world’s fastest growing industries.
Fisheries and aquaculture scientists require a broad understanding of biology, ecology, oceanography, chemistry, statistics and management. You will learn fundamental aspects of these subjects in first and second years. As you progress through the course, more specialist subjects such as fisheries, aquaculture and food science will be introduced.
