Here ya go. If your getting a pharmacy. GO with that and make money so you can enjoy fish as a well funded hobby. If you try to live off fish. They will end up eating better then you.
The rest of that link. Ichthyologist
The field falls under the study of biology. You can major in biology as an undergrad and upon completion of a bachelor's, you can apply to a school that offers a graduate program in ichthyology. You won't make a six-figure salary. You enter such a field for the love of it. Not for wealth.
You could be a Marine Biologist.
They make anywhere from $36,000-$45,000 first few years.
