The Master of Fisheries Science (M.F.Sc.) is a specialized 2-year postgraduate professional degree focused on the sustainable management of living aquatic resources, commercial aquaculture production, fish genetics, pathology, post-harvest technology, and aquatic environment management. While an undergraduate B.F.Sc. provides foundational training across all branches of fisheries, the M.F.Sc. offers deep domain specialization and research training. Postgraduates are equipped to solve critical industry challenges such as disease outbreaks in shrimp/fish farms, feed formulation optimization, wild stock assessment, marine ecosystem conservation, seafood quality compliance for export, and genetic breeding of high-value aquatic species.
