The Director of Research listed the completed and ongoing University Research Projects (16 Nos.) during the period 2017-18.

Dr. K.R. Jahanmohan informed that State Planning Commission has been associated with the Fisheries University in operating the projects since the 12th Five Year Plan. Dr. Jahanmohan greatly appreciated the tremendous growth of the University within a short span, and suggested proposing new projects with innovative and impressive ideas with less of research component and more of service component. Indispensible equipments and civil works alone should be committed. Dr. Jahanmohan asked if terrace farming of fishes could be undertaken similar to the terrace farming of vegetables. Dr. A. Ramadass gave an overview on the activities of the NIOT, and said that NIOT presently focuses on the research area such as desalination, environmental engineering, tsunami and weather monitory systems, underwater vehicles mining the minerals from 5000m depth in Indian Ocean. NIOT have facilities such as marine biotechnology, biodiesel, chemicals of medicinal values extracted from marine algae and cage culture. Dr. Ramadass appreciated the works carried out in the Project on E-fish health surveillance and monitoring network. He suggested working on the automation of the equipments used in aquaculture like aerators, water quality monitoring systems, etc. Autofeeders for cage cultures can be standardized. Biomass estimation can be looked upon on auto mode. Engineering interventions can be made in the areas like development of a warning device to alert fisherfolk when crossing International boundary as well as to find potential fishing zone. Dr. Ramadass expressed his opinions on the creating awareness among the consumers on the chemical contaminants in seafood.

Dr. V. Arul appreciated the projects on biofloc, collagen from fish bone, and replacement of fish meal with soya bean meal for the development of fish feed. Dr. Arul extended his invitation to collaborate with Pondicherry University for characterizing the collagen and characterizing the smaller molecular components. Dr. Arul also insisted to give incentives and awards for research publications and research projects. He inquired why biofloc technology not popularized and how it could be taken on large scale farming. He asked if incorporation of soya bean meal at higher level is problematic due to anti-nutritional factors. He also enquired about the sources of the carotenoids used in fish feed. Dr. M. Rajalekshmi expressed her views that the academic institutes should translate the technologies from lab to farmers‟ field through extension centres. New emerging disease diagnosis methods should be developed. Research on alternate protein sources such as ground nut meal, silk worm meal should be carried out. Dr. T.S. Viswanath provided the information on the activities of NFDB for the development of aquaculture, and suggested that Aqua One centre shall be established. Dr. Viswanath also suggested that TNJFU should offer Online courses as we are living in the internet era. Mrs. Emily Surjith Titus appreciated the works carried out on the collagen to treat Osteoporosis by the department of fish quality assurance and management. She inquired if the use of poultry meal in fish feed would not adversely affect the quality of the fish consuming the feed. The other University Officers also presented their views on the suggestions provided by the Experts.
