Program overview
Marine Fishery Science and Technology, simply put, teaches you how to scientifically 'live off the sea'. You will learn about the habits of marine organisms, methods for assessing fishery resources, fishing techniques, aquaculture technologies, and how to make fisheries sustainable. Core courses include Marine Biology, Fishery Resources Science, Fishing Science, Aquaculture, Marine Ecology, and Fisheries Management. If you love the ocean, are interested in biology, and have strong hands-on skills, this major will suit you well. Coastal universities in China (such as Ocean University of China and Shanghai Ocean University) offer strong practical teaching in this field, with many courses involving sea-going internships where you directly engage with fishing vessels, fishing grounds, and aquaculture bases.
