The present division of Fish Nutrition, Biochemistry & Physiology at ICAR-CIFE has a long spanning about three decades. The division had made it's humble beginning as Digestive physiology, as Nutrition & Feed Technology lab on 4 Jan 1990 by the then Director, Dr. V. R. P. Sinha, initially a single course on Fish Nutrition was offered. During 1998, following recruitment of many new scientists at various levels, and as per demand of time, Dr. S. A. H. Abidi re-organized the unit as Division of Fish Nutrition & Biochemistry, Harvest and Post- Harvest Technology. In 2000, the division was further strengthened by establishment of Fish Feed Facility having twin screw extruder and Biochemistry lab inaugurated by Dr. S. L. Mehta, DDG, Education. The division got the status to offer exclusive degree on fish nutrition and biochemistry for both M.F.Sc. and Ph.D. level by the leadership of the then Director Dr. S. Ayyappan from 2002. The importance of Physiology research in fisheries was seriously felt from quite some time and hence Fish Physiology became part of the division from 2010, under the then director Dr. Dilip Kumar with the latest nomenclature of the division as Division of Fish Nutrition, Biochemistry, Physiology (FNBP), with an appointment of regular HOD. Presently the division is offering masters and PhD Programmes in Fish Nutrition & Feed Technology and Fish Biochemistry & Physiology, which are approved by BSMA of ICAR.
The faculty members are committed to conduct basic and strategic research in frontier areas of Fish Nutrition, Biochemistry and Physiology. Their investigations have always remained close to the problems of the country, yet they have kept up with the fast-changing developments across the globe. Demand driven and need based training programmes are offered in the form of CAFT, short term training and online trainings. The division has facilities for feed and fish proximate analysis, biochemical analysis of fish tissues and molecular analysis of biological samples. The quality and scope of research in the division has attracted bright students from the state agricultural universities and many of the alumni have occupied responsible positions in India and abroad. The division is presently working on the following areas; unconventional feed ingredients, System specific aquafeed, nutrigenomics, nutraceuticals and nanotechnology, climate change mediated stress physiology and mitigation and reproductive physiology
