Fisheries and Aquaculture is a four-year undergraduate programme that equips students with scientific and practical knowledge in fish biology, aquaculture management, fisheries economics, water quality management, and seafood processing. Students gain hands-on experience in fish farming techniques, hatchery operations, and sustainable management of Nigeria's rich aquatic resources across rivers, lakes, and coastal waters. The curriculum also covers fisheries legislation, post-harvest technology, and environmental conservation. Graduates are well-positioned to pursue careers as aquaculture farm managers, fisheries officers with state and federal agencies, researchers in marine science institutes, or agribusiness entrepreneurs in Nigeria's growing fish production industry. The Fisheries Society of Nigeria (FISON) serves as the relevant professional body, providing networking, certification, and advocacy opportunities for qualified practitioners nationwide.
