AQUACULTURE AND FISHERIES SCIENCE
Coordinated by the School of Marine Biology and Aquaculture, the Master of Applied Science (Coursework) and Master of Science (Research and Coursework) in Aquaculture and Fisheries Science provide training in the concepts and methods of aquaculture and training in fisheries science and management. The emphasis is on tropical aquaculture and fisheries, especially in northern Australia, Asia and the Pacific islands. Apart from this tropical focus, the special feature of these courses is training in the two methods of harvesting aquatic resources. There are few centres where both aquaculture and fisheries science are taught at a postgraduate level.
Prospective students should consult with the Course Coordinators. Within the broad framework of the Award Requirements, each student’s program, including weighting of coursework and research, can be tailored to the individual candidate’s background and requirements.
