Abstract

The Visakhapatnam Regional Centre of the ICAR-CMFRI marked its 79th Foundation Day on Tuesday with a vibrant open house event that attracted over 1,100 visitors, offering a close look at the region’s rich marine life. Visitors, especially children, were fascinated by live displays of marine organisms, including translucent jellyfish housed in specially designed tanks, various crab and shrimp species, colourful seaweed, and a range of fish. The open house featured several attractions, including museum tours highlighting marine biodiversity, displays of SCUBA and surfing equipment, kayaks, and photo opportunities with life-sized models of sharks, dolphins, lobsters and octopuses. A key highlight was interaction sessions with 12 marine researchers, who shared insights into their ongoing research and addressed questions from visitors.
