Pisciculture


The College offers Pisciculture as an honours subject for B Sc students with Chemistry and Zoology as subsidiary (elective) subjects. It is a professional course that prepares our graduates for self-employment as North-East India offers ample scope for the development of fisheries, both on a large scale and as a profitable cottage industry. It also provides them with strong theoretical and practical foundations to enable them to pursue and academic career in a variety of Post Graduate courses in Fishery Sciences and related fields in recognized universities across the country. The fish hatchery complex at the College and the model fish farm at Umran provide the students with ample hands-on experience in the rearing of fish and management of fish farms.
