An ichthyologist is a scientist who studies fish. Most
people who do this job say they love their work because it is very rewarding
(值得做的) and varied (多样的). They work not only inside a laboratory, but also out in
the field. Field work includes traveling to river, oceans and lakes in order to
collect information and specimens (样本). Reading, writing and
speaking are also very important to the job. Fish scientists need to read the
research of other scientists. They must be able to write up their own research
clearly so that others can follow it. Ichthyologists who wish
to specialize can choose any one of three areas of study. The first area is
aquaculture (水产养殖). This involves (包含) the study and practice of fish farming
and management. The second area is fisheries science, which means working with a
team of scientists to find out more about different fish species (品种). The third
area is about the protection of natural fish populations. To
become a successful fish scientist, you need to be able to work on your own. You
also need to be able to manage equipment and perform experiments; but most
importantly, you must love fish. To become an ichthyologist, you will need to
train at a university to pass a Bachelor (学士) of Science degree. For this, you
will need to be good at mathematics, physical science and biology. Then, you
will need to study for another year to complete an honours degree in
ichthyology.
