A wide range of industries, including government, academia, research, conservation, and the private sector, are covered by the BFSc program. To choose the best career path, people should investigate their strengths and areas of interest within the field.
Students can find job opportunities in public as well as private sectors such as research institutes, nationalised banks, aquariums, fish farms, feed manufacturing units, fish breeding centres, fish processing and marketing firms, food departments, fish disease diagnostic centre, etc.

In my opinion, MFSc (Master of Fisheries Science) is the best course to pursue after BFSc. Similar to a Master's degree in other fields, the MFSc programme is designed to provide students with in-depth knowledge, specialised skills, and research expertise in areas related to fisheries, aquaculture, marine biology, and related subjects.
