"Harnessing the Science of Fisheries for Food, Nutrition and Livelihood"

Introduction

The laboratory was first originated as a small Fish Quality Control unit functioning under the Department of Fish Processing Technology since 1996 at the Shore Laboratory Campus of Fisheries College and Research Institute, Thoothukudi. The laboratory was then upgraded into Fish Quality Monitoring and Certification Center in 2010-2011 under a Part II Scheme, which later evolved to function as a self-financing scheme in 2012. Recognising the quantum of research work undertaken in this laboratory, the Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR), New Delhi recognised the Center as a Niche Area of Excellence in “Fish Safety and Quality Analysis” from 2013 to 2016 with the funding support to equip with modern quality analysis instruments. Now, the Center is recognized as TNJFU Referral Laboratory of Fish Quality Monitoring and Certification (TRL-FQMC) by the University to function as a self sustainable unit to test the quality and safety of aquatic food products.
