With the aquatic biology and fisheries option, you will promote the protection and restoration of water quality, the management of freshwater environments, and the recreational and sport-fishing use of lakes and streams. You will also discover the importance of cooperation among industry, agriculture, and the public, which is necessary to achieve individual and mutual goals.Your courses in aquatic biology and fisheries will cover subjects such as freshwater organisms like microbes, algae and fish, nutrient dynamics, freshwater ecosystems and the physical processes that affect these environments. You will also study applied biological methods like habitat and water quality assessment, environmental conservation, fisheries and invasive species management, and water resource management.These courses have prepared our graduates to work in management and research positions for governmental and private organizations, and they serve as prerequisites for further study in graduate school.
