| History |
|
The B.S. degree in Fisheries Biology
was originally offered through the Department of
Agriculture. With the addition of the M.S. degree in
Aquaculture/Fisheries and recognition of the unique aspects of
the disciplines of Aquaculture and Fisheries, the Department of
Aquaculture and Fisheries was created in 1994 as the
third department within the school of Agriculture, Fisheries and
Human Sciences. |
