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.

Biology is the umbrella term for the scientific study of all living things. This includes animals, but also plants, fungi, and micro-organisms.
Zoology is a branch of Biology and is focused on animal life. This will include some microbiology (single-celled organisms) but is more focused on multi-cellular life (such as Daphnia and plankton), invertebrates (insects, Mollusca, etc.), and fauna (birds, reptiles, mammals, etc.).
Zoology curricula also include some Botany but in the context of animals. For example, how certain species of plants and animals interact with each other.
