Science at ESF

ESF has a nationally top-ranked program

and long tradition of excellence in

Aquatic and Fisheries Sciences.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND FOREST BIOLOGY

Program Resources and Facilities

The AFS undergraduate students are offered

unique opportunities working in a variety of

research and management facilities on and off

campus. Many of these locations offer sea-

sonal and academic year positions for stu-

dents . Significant facilities upgrades have

occurred to enhance research programs.

Challenging coursework helps develop a student’s foundation

in science. The AFS Major requires courses in calculus, writ-

ing, chemistry, genetics, economics, and biology. Examples of

core classes and electives from AFS program faculty include

ichthyology, limnology, marine ecology, aquatic restoration

ecology, fisheries biology and management, and wetlands

ecology. There is also a requirement for 6 credits of field ex-

perience. A diversity of field and laboratory research

opportunities are available with individual faculty in a wide

range of habitats and locations.

Careers in Aquatic & Fisheries Sciences

Graduates of the AFS program have a diverse array of career

opportunities. Placement rates are high in the areas of fisher-

ies science, wetland science, limnology, marine biology, and

oceanography. Jobs are available with federal and state agen-

cies, research institutions, private consulting firms and non-

governmental organizations, both locally and internationally.

Exceptional students will have opportunities to continue with

graduate studies, which will broaden career options and lead

to positions with greater responsibility and higher salary. To

pursue a career in research and teaching in a university, a

Ph.D. is generally required.

Our graduates have become: Aquatic Biologist, Fish pathologist, Fisheries Biologist, Fish

Hatchery Manager, Fisheries Manager, Limnologist, Ichthyolo-

gist, Wetlands Scientist, Science Teacher, Restoration Ecol-

ogist, Habitat Biologist, Professional consultant, Aquacultur-

ist, Biological technician, Resource Manager, Toxicologist,

Marine Resources Specialist.

Program Description

Program Requirements

Within the Department of Environmental and Forest

Biology (EFB) at ESF, the Aquatic and Fisheries Sci-

ence degree program focuses on the study of aquatic

ecosystems. From nutrient flow to trophic cascades

our students learn about scientific inquiry in class-

room, laboratory, and field experiences and apply this

knowledge to guide management . We encourage a

system-approach to ensure sustainable uses of the

aquatic environment. Aquatic ecosystems include wet-

lands, streams, lakes, estuaries, and oceans. Aquatic

science professionals study and manage natural re-

sources and ecosystem services provided by aquatic

systems.

AFS Students conduct seining survey to evaluate fish diver-

sity while working on NYS DEC research.

"Aquatic and Fisheries Science is a fantastic program of

study that allows you to become immersed in the world of

aquatics through a wide array of internships, classroom

courses, field courses, and independent studies"

Eric Patch, AFS Major, Class of 2010
