Fisheries and Aquaculture

The Fisheries and Aquaculture module (FASC1029) provides an in-depth exploration of aquatic ecosystems, fish biology, fisheries resources, aquaculture practices, and their socio-economic significance. The module begins with an overview of aquatic ecosystems, including marine, estuarine, freshwater, and wetland systems, with special emphasis on Ethiopia’s diverse water resources. Students will learn about ecosystem structure, functions, productivity, and the threats these systems face due to climate change and human pressures.
