Abstract

The ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), a globally renowned fisheries research organization, marked a momentous occasion in 2022 as it celebrated its 75th year of impactful research in the realm of marine fisheries. Originating as a marine fisheries research station on February 3rd, 1947, in Madras, presently Chennai, it became an integral part of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) in 1967. Transforming into a premier research establishment, CMFRI has been at the forefront of marine fisheries research in India. The institute’s headquarters transitioned from Mandapam, Tamil Nadu, to its current location at Kochi, in Kerala in 1972. CMFRI stands as the leading marine fisheries research institute in India, contributing significantly to the foundation of tropical marine fisheries research in the region. Its influence extends beyond national borders, as it plays a pivotal role in providing valuable services and counsel to policy planners and developmental agencies not only within the country but also to nations around the Indian Ocean Rim. At the heart of CMFRI’s mission is the commitment to advancing marine fisheries research, thereby shaping policies and strategies for sustainable development. The institute’s mandate encompasses a wide spectrum of responsibilities, reflecting its dedication to promoting the welfare of marine ecosystems and the communities dependent on them. The vision, mission and mandate of CMFRI are the following.
