B.Sc. in Fisheries and Aquaculture Technology

This degree at C. K. Tedam University prepares you to work in the production and management of fish and other aquatic organisms. It blends biological science with practical technology, covering everything from breeding fish to managing water quality and dealing with fish health.

What the field covers

Fisheries and aquaculture technology is about producing and managing fish and other aquatic organisms for food and trade. Programmes like this usually explore fish biology, water quality management, fish health and disease control, breeding techniques, and the operation of fish farms. You will also touch on environmental impact and sustainable practices, which matter more as global demand for fish grows.

How hard it is to get in

Entry into this programme is less competitive compared to many other degree courses, so your chances of securing a place are generally good. The university's School of Environment and Life Sciences admits students from the Agriculture, General Science, and Home Economics SHS backgrounds, so your secondary education already gives you a starting point. As with any programme, you should check the exact grade requirements for your specific background.

What you can do after graduation

Graduates typically move into fish farming, aquaculture research, government fisheries departments, environmental agencies, and agri-businesses that supply fish feed and equipment. Some go on to run their own farms, while others work in aquaculture extension services, helping communities raise fish sustainably.
