Fishery Science Overview
There is nothing fishy about a career in Fishery Sciences. Developing and maintaining the sea wealth is what fisheries aim at. This involves the breeding of good quality fishes, ensuring the continuance of genetic specie strengths, securing the non-extinction of species and implementing scientific methods of fishing.
With scientific fish culturing the quality of fishes can be improved and the unpredictability of the catch be minimised. This way fishing as an occupation can be made more viable. This is all the more significant considering the increased global demand for quality fishes and canned foods.
As a scientist, your job will involve not just experimenting in a laboratory, but also working in fish farms. You will strategise aquatic systems through fish community management. Assessing the impact of change in habitat on fishes and reviewing the experiment methodology is also your job as a fishery scientist.
As a scientist, you will study fish and fauna and research projects mainly focused on the effects of human activities on aquatic systems. For e.g. impact on fish breeding due to manmade structures such as dams.
A major branch of Fishery Science is Aquaculture. This is mainly farming of aquatic organisms (e.g., fish, aquatic plants, etc.) in natural or controlled marine or freshwater. You will create commercial hatcheries and breed fishes in grow-out ponds and see to it that they reach good marketable size. Developing novel and innovative technologies for use in aquaculture, for example aerators, pumps, feeding equipment etc. will also be done by you as a scientist.
As a fishery scientist, your will develop new aquaculture species and also create innovative and cost effective solutions in aquaculture. You will then market the products and even export it abroad. Another good option is to offer expertise from project formulation stage to the implementation and successful operation of hatchery and farming.
