The administrative committee, consisting of faculty members from the Memorial University's Fisheries and Marine Institute (MI) and the departments of Biology, Biochemistry and Ocean Sciences, offer the Master of Science in Sustainable Aquaculture. This is the only thesis-based MSc Sustainable Aquaculture program in Canada.

It is designed to instruct students in research using scientific principles derived from a wide range of disciplines including Biology, Biochemistry, Ocean Sciences, Food Sciences and Engineering. Research problems may involve field and laboratory studies on various marine and freshwater flora and fauna.

The administrative committee is responsible for the program. It is composed of six faculty members; two from MI and four from appropriate academic departments at Memorial. In addition, the heads of the departments and the head of the School of Fisheries, MI, will be ex-officio members.
