M.Phil
Marine Microbiology (Part Time) |
M.Phil.,
Marine Microbiology Similar to M.Phil, Marine
Biotechnology a M.Phil scholar in Marine
Microbiology needs to undergo Programme work
for one semester and project work for the
second semester. Marine Microbiology is
an evergreen subject and now has been realized
as the need of the hour. An estimate says
that only 1% of the total microorganisms
in the Marine Environment are cultured which
implies the immense scope of Marine Microbiology.
Nearly 60% of the microbially derived drugs
are from marine microorganisms. Aquaculture
has been now identified as the prime source
of future protein needs in the food sector.
With an annual fish production of approximately
six million tons in 2003, India ranks fourth
in global fish production and second in
aquaculture. The seafood world market has
doubled within the last decade reaching
US$49.32 billion. India’s share in
the world seafood market is 2.4 per cent.
Hence, the sea food processing industry
and sea food exporting industry is in need
of huge manpower to produce and certify
the sea foods in compliance with international
regulations. A highly competitive Programme
like M.Phil Marine Microbiology at Academy of Maritime Education and Training (AMET) would make you fit enough to
join in the Blue Revolution. |
