History

Ege University Faculty of Fisheries Faculty of Fisheries is one of the 19 faculties that continue its education activities within Ege University. The Faculty, which started its activities as a High School in 1982 (the School of Fisheries, which was established in accordance with the Decree Law No. 41), was transformed into a Faculty with the Law No. 3837 adopted on 11.7.1992. The main purpose of the faculty is to equip technical staff (Fisheries Engineer) with technological knowledge in the fields of marine and inland water sciences, fisheries, aquaculture processing technology and aquaculture, with the necessary information and to have them practice. The faculty conducts the necessary research and studies in order to determine the problems in practice related to the environmental problems in the aquatic environment, fishermen and fisheries enterprises, and to offer solutions. In this context, it has graduated over 3300 graduates in 36 terms from 1986 to the present. In our country, he has made important studies on the start and development of aquaculture and efforts have been made for the formation of this sector. In addition to the Bornova campus, the Research and Application Unit in Urla continues its activities in the HOMA (SÜFA) Research Education and Application Branch located near the Çiğli-Çamaltı saltworks. It is among the leading education and research institutions of our country with its textbooks, numerous researches, reviews and articles published since its establishment. In addition, it bears the responsibility of being the leading faculty that contributes to the establishment and development of other Fisheries Faculties established in our country.
