    Abstract

    Fisheries education did not receive much attention in Kerala in the past even though Kerala continued for long to be the foremost State in India in marine fish production and export. It was realised that technical manpower should form the backbone of a developing industry like Fisheries. Fisheries is a highly multidisciplinary subject and, in order to have a successful professional career in the field of fisheries, one should become familiar with a variety of subjects other than Zoology, like Aquaculture, Fishery Biology, Oceanography, Limnology, Processing Technology, Fisheries Economics, Fisheries Statistics etc. It was felt that professional degree programmes in fisheries at the University level similar to the graduate and post-graduate programmes in Agriculture, Veterinary & Animal Sciences, should be started in the fisheries sector also in order to provide the much needed technical manpower in this sector. As per the Kerala Agricultural University Act, 1972, fisheries education comes under the purview of the Kerala Agricultural University.
