Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences is the study of fish, other aquatic organisms, and their environments. This field encompasses the management, conservation, and sustainable use of aquatic resources, including oceans, rivers, and lakes. Researchers focus on understanding aquatic ecosystems, fish populations, and the impacts of human activities such as fishing, pollution, and climate change. The aim is to ensure healthy aquatic ecosystems that can support biodiversity and provide resources for communities, while also promoting practices that allow for fishing and aquaculture without harming the environment.
