The Department of Aquaculture, founded in 1952, is the earliest undergraduate education discipline of aquaculture in China. Aquaculture has doctoral programs, master programs and undergraduate programs, and aquarium science and technology has undergraduate programs. It has become a higher education unit with the highest level and the most comprehensive categories of aquaculture disciplines in China, and the overall level of teaching and scientific research is among the best in China. The structure of the teaching staff is reasonable, the main research direction has been undertaken by young scientific and technological personnel, and the academic level of some main research directions is leading internationally or domestically. The key laboratory has a certain scale, equipped with a number of first-class instruments and equipment, and the whole work has entered a benign operation. At present, it has close academic exchanges with international and domestic universities and scientific research institutions.
