Is aquaculture a good area to specialize?
Hello, I'm writing today to ask for some advice 🥲
During my bachelors in biology I've been interested in a bunch of different areas, and I ended up in Marine Biology cuz I thought that it would be the most profitable one in my country.
I'm currently working on my thesis, and it's about pufferfish toxins, and it made me love the natural product discovery and study aspect of marine biology.
The problem is that in my country (Panama) there are not pharmaceutical industries or similar, so I would have to go out of my country to get work or be able to get one of the limited positions in one of the institutions in my country that specialized in that.
So I started thinking about other options and remembered how much I enjoyed aquaculture classes!
It was very fun for me but quite different from what my thesis is about.
Panama has more aquaculture industry, and it could expand my opportunities in regard to job availability. I could maybe get in public, private or even a self made company (I'm just thinking about options here)
So idk, what are ur opinions about aquaculture as an area of study, does any of you work in it? How is it? How was getting a job in it? And also do you think any of the knowledge I got from my thesis would be useful in aquaculture?
I was interested in learning about blue biotechnology focused on aquaculture 🤔
If you could tell me anything about how is it and how you did it it would be awesome. Thank you
