Full fisheries course is divided into five major categories. Those are
- Fisheries Biology
- Fisheries Management
- Fisheries Technology
- Aquaculture
- Health management.
1. Fisheries Biology
Basic Level
- Fisheries Biology: Focuses on understanding the anatomy, physiology, and life cycles of fish species. Students learn about fish classification, behavior, and ecological roles.
- Genetics: Covers fundamentals of heredity, genetic material, and Mendelian principles. Introduces concepts like gene expression and the genetic basis of fish traits.
Intermediate Level
- Fisheries Biology: Explores fish population dynamics, growth models, and feeding habits. Students study how environmental factors influence fish distribution and reproduction.
- Genetics: Examines genetic variation, gene-environment interactions, and quantitative genetics. Techniques like electrophoresis and PCR are introduced.
Advanced Level
- Fisheries Biology: Delves into evolutionary biology, ecosystem modeling, and the effects of climate change on fish populations. Advanced stock assessment techniques are taught.
- Genetics: Covers advanced topics like genome mapping, molecular markers, and CRISPR technology. Focuses on genetic improvement for aquaculture and conservation genetics.
2. Fisheries Management
Basic Level
- Introduces the concepts of fisheries resources, their types (marine, freshwater), and their importance. Students learn about sustainable fishing practices and simple fish stock assessment.
- Covers fisheries policies, co-management systems, and socio-economic aspects. Students study gear selectivity, fishing methods, and habitat conservation.
Advanced Level
- Focuses on global fisheries governance, advanced stock assessment models, and ecosystem-based management. Includes the study of fishery economics, climate adaptation strategies, and marine spatial planning.
3. Fisheries Technology
Basic Level
- Introduces fish processing methods like drying, salting, and smoking. Covers the basics of fish spoilage, preservation, and hygienic handling practices.
Intermediate Level
- Explores advanced preservation techniques like freezing, canning, and modified atmosphere packaging. Teaches fish quality assessment and sensory evaluation methods.
Advanced Level
- Focuses on HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), international quality standards, and advanced processing technologies like irradiation and surimi production. Includes studies on bioactive compounds and nutraceuticals derived from fish.
4. Aquaculture
Basic Level
- Teaches the basics of aquaculture, including site selection, pond preparation, and fish seed stocking. Covers the culture of common species like carp and tilapia.
Intermediate Level
- Includes integrated aquaculture, feed formulation, and water quality management. Focuses on hatchery management and the culture of high-value species like shrimp and seabass.
Advanced Level
- Covers advanced techniques like recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS), biofloc technology, and aquaponics. Focuses on genetics in aquaculture, disease management, and the economics of large-scale operations.
5. Health Management
Basic Level
- Introduces fish diseases, their symptoms, and simple treatment methods. Covers the basics of water quality parameters affecting fish health.
Intermediate Level
- Focuses on disease diagnosis, parasitology, and prophylactic measures. Teaches vaccination techniques, feed-based prophylaxis, and basic microbiology.
Advanced Level
- Includes advanced immunology, molecular diagnostics, and biosecurity. Covers epidemiology, advanced therapeutics, and research on emerging diseases. Students learn about the impact of climate change on fish health.
Fisheries Zoology
Fisheries Zoology
Fisheries Zoology is a specialized field of zoology that focuses on the biological and ecological aspects of aquatic organisms, particularly fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other species of economic or ecological importance in fisheries. It integrates principles of zoology, ecology, and fisheries science to study the biology, behavior, and management of aquatic species.
General Ichthyology
Biodiversity and Fishery Systematics
Embryology
Biology of Farmed Fishes
Shellfish Biology
Fish Physiology
Principles of Genetics
Reproductive Physiology of Fishes
Genetics and Reproduction of Ornamental Fish
Genetics and Fish Breeding
