About this company

The Rhodes University Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science (DIFS) is a leading African academic institution supporting the sustainable utilisation and study of fish, fisheries and the use of aquatic resources through teaching and student learning, conducting research, engaging with communities and broader society and providing service support.

The DIFS was historically associated with the JLB Smith Institute of Ichthyology (now South African Institute of Aquatic Biodiversity - SAIAB). It is the only department of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. The department offers a two-year major in Ichthyology, with its main focus on postgraduate (Honours, MSc and PhD) training. We have a well-established local and international reputation, being an African Union Center of Excellence for training in marine science and aquaculture with an emphasis on aquatic biodiversity.

The DIFS has seven tenured academic positions with expertise in ichthyology, aquaculture and fisheries science. One of the department’s major strengths is in the partnerships that these staff maintain with local, regional and international institutions in these fields. We collaborate with institutions ranging from local and international universities and research institutions, to non-government organisations, government departments and continental government unions. The majority of our research projects are multi-institutional, and this caters for a multi-disciplinary approach in our research, and where our teaching is informed by this research and societal interactions. Our largest partner is the South African Institute of Aquatic Biodiversity (SAIAB), with which we share infrastructure and human resources, and which broadens the access and expertise that we offer our students and more than doubles the number of senior researchers offering student support in our fields. We also have prominent partnerships with government, non-government organisations and with industry, which result in our students participating in learning and research with real and current application in society. The DIFS has more than 30 Associate Staff members with whom its tenured staff collaborate, and this makes it possible for us host a post-graduate school of between 50-70 students, the largest group of which include PhD students.

The majority of our graduates are employed or self-employed in the fields in which they gained expertise at Rhodes University - in academia, research, aquaculture, government, fisheries management, stock assessment, conservation, water management or sport fisheries management, for example. Nationally and internationally our graduates are highly competitive and may be found in Canada, the USA, Europe, Australia, China and throughout Africa and South Africa.
