We give two proofs of a level-rank duality for braided fusion categories obtained from quantum groups of type C at roots of unity. The first proof uses conformal embeddings, while the second uses a classification of braided fusion categories associated with quantum groups of type C at roots of unity. In addition we give a similar result for non-unitary braided fusion categories quantum groups of types B and C at odd roots of unity.
Keywords: Braided fusion category, affine Lie algebra, level-rank duality.
