Message From Chairman

It is my great pleasure to invite you to explore the department of Fisheries and Marine Bioscience, Jashore University of Science and Technology (JUST).

Bangladesh is considered one of the most suitable regions for fisheries in the world, and the third-largest aquatic biodiversity in Asia after China and India. In the fiscal year 2018, Bangladesh earned Tk 4,500 crore by exporting around 69,000 metric tons of fish and fish products and has ranked third in the world in terms of inland fish production (FAO). The fisheries sector plays a very important role in the national economy, contributing 3.69% to the GDP of the country and 22.60% to the agricultural GDP (FRSS, 2016).  

We have vibrant and interactive faculties who perform cutting-edge research addressing questions of relevance to aquaculture, aquatic ecology, aquatic environments, fish and shellfish reproduction, fisheries conservation & management, aquatic biodiversity, post-harvest technology, fish genetics & biotechnology, aquatic heath management, oceanography, and marine bioscience. The department is rich with different laboratories, a research pond complex, and the country’s largest modern fish hatchery. The department also developing an Aquatic biodiversity museum and education center. We are expecting in near future this museum will be the richest fish and other aquatic biodiversity museums in the south-western part of the country. We engage and embrace a community of graduate students who join us as scientists, scholars, and educators.

We are offering a Bachelor of Science in Fisheries (Hons), Master of Science in Aquaculture, Fisheries Management, Genetics and Breeding Biology, and in Fisheries Technology. We also offering MPhil and Ph.D. in Fisheries programs.
