Abstract

After over a decade spent as director of the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute Dr A Gopalakrishnan has announced his retirement from the role. During his remarkable 11-year tenure, Dr Gopalakrishnan spearheaded numerous community-centric initiatives, with a focus on the empowerment of women and LGBT individuals within the fisheries and aquaculture sector. By providing training in diverse areas such as fish farming, cage culture, seaweed cultivation, ornamental fish farming, and mussel and oyster farming, along with marketing skills, the CMFRI extended support to communities to assist the development of small-scale entrepreneurs. The institute, under Dr Gopalakrishnan’s oversight, also played a critical role in implementing minimum legal catch size regulations to curb the unsustainable fishing of juveniles. As a result of these works, the CMFRI was awarded the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Award, given to the best ICAR research institution, in 2019.
