The Fisheries Extension and Statistics Department focuses on the dissemination of scientific knowledge and technological advancements in fisheries to fishing communities, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. It plays a crucial role in bridging the gap between research and practical application by promoting sustainable fishing practices, aquaculture techniques, and resource management strategies. Students learn about extension methodologies, communication skills, and community engagement techniques to effectively educate and support fishers, farmers, and entrepreneurs in the fisheries sector. The department also emphasizes policy development and the role of fisheries extension services in improving livelihoods and ensuring food security.

In addition to extension services, the department integrates statistical analysis and data-driven decision-making in fisheries management. Students gain expertise in fisheries data collection, analysis, and interpretation, helping assess fish stock levels, production trends, and economic performance. Advanced statistical tools and software are used to monitor and predict fisheries production, ensuring informed policymaking and resource management. Graduates can pursue careers in fisheries extension services, research institutions, government agencies, and international organizations, contributing to the sustainable development of the fisheries and aquaculture industry.
