Aquaculture and Fisheries

1. Are you interested in biology and ecology of aquatic organisms (fish, shellfish, algae)?

Yes, I’m fascinated by aquatic life Somewhat, I’d like to learn more Not really

2. Do you enjoy working with and managing living systems, including feeding, health, and environment control?

Yes, hands-on system care appeals to me A little, I can adapt No, I prefer abstract or non-living systems

3. Are you curious about sustainable production methods and reducing environmental impact in aquaculture/fisheries?

Definitely, sustainability matters to me Somewhat, I’d like to understand it better Not really

4. Do you enjoy analyzing data related to growth rates, water quality, feed efficiency, or catches?

Yes, data-driven decisions excite me A bit, but I may need support No, I prefer not to work with numbers

5. Are you comfortable with fieldwork or facility-based work in variable environments (ponds, tanks, coastal areas)?

Yes, I like diverse work settings Somewhat, depending on conditions No, I prefer consistent indoor work

6. Do you have interest in or aptitude for business aspects such as marketing, supply chains, and value addition of aquatic products?

Yes, I want to understand the market side A little, I’m open to learning No, I prefer purely scientific/technical work

7. Are you interested in fisheries management, including population assessment and regulation?

Yes, managing wild stocks matters to me Somewhat, I’d like to understand principles No, I’m focused on cultivation only

8. Do you care about animal health and welfare in aquatic production systems?

Yes, it’s a core concern Somewhat, I recognize its importance Not a priority for me

9. Are you open to interdisciplinary learning (biology, engineering, environmental science, policy)?

Yes, I enjoy blending fields Somewhat, it’s challenging but doable No, I prefer narrow focus

10. Do you want to contribute to food security and responsible use of aquatic resources?

Yes, that’s a strong motivation Somewhat, I care but need direction Not particularly
