Yes, candidates can pursue an MFSc degree after graduating in Zoology, but they may need to meet certain prerequisites and requirements.
MFSc programs typically focus on fisheries and aquatic sciences, which are closely related to Zoology in which they both involve the study of animal biology. However, the emphasis in an MFSc programme is specifically on aquatic and fish-related topics.
