Mission: The faculty’s mission is to train dynamic and competent manpower in fisheries and allied disciplines and to promote research, development and technology dissemination in fisheries. To achieve this aim, faculty equips with human resources capable to deliver lectures, practical classes, conduct research and supporting services to students and community. Faculty is comprised of three departments:

1. ​​Department of Aquatic Biology
2. Department of Aquaculture
3. Department of Fisheries Bussiness and Products
