“Throughout my four year degree program I took courses not only pertaining to my direct interests in fish culture but also had the opportunity to learn about the interrelations between fish and their environment.  Following the completion of my Master’s degree I obtained a Biologist Position with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.  I moved on to Dalhousie University for my PhD studies which again use the lab-based and applied ecology skills I gained at the Nova Scotia Agricultural College.

The Nova Scotia Agricultural College Aquaculture Program provided me with the educational foundations to become a strong researcher and possess a unique skill set among my peers. " - Adam Cook, Jan.11, 2007
