Regional Research Centre, Bengaluru
Brief history of the Centre
The Regional Research Centre of ICAR-CIFA, Bengaluru has its origin in the Tank Fisheries Research (TFR) Unit which was established at Bangalore by the erstwhile Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute (CIFRI), Barrackpore, in 1962, with an objective of assessing the fishery resource potential of the Peninsular States of India. Between 1963 and 1965, the TFR Unit became part of the composite Tank & Lacustrine Research Station of CIFRI with Headquarters at Tungabhadra Dam. In 1965, the establishment was shifted back to Bangalore, after gathering some baseline data with respect to eco-biological status and fish productivity of tanks in the region, which had provided base scientific information for freshwater aquaculture development. The Karnataka Centre of the All India Coordinated Research Project on Air Breathing Fish Culture (established initially at Bhadra Reservoir Project in 1972), stationed at Bangalore since 1976, was also merged with the Unit in 1983 to have a wider scope for tackling the region- specific fisheries problems. With the reorganization of the erstwhile CIFRI in the year 1987, the Peninsular Aquaculture Division at Bangalore became functional in the Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture (CIFA), Bhubaneswar, which was later renamed as Regional Research Centre, Bengaluru
