Fisheries universities, also known as fisheries colleges or fisheries institutes, are higher
education institutions that specialize in the study of fishery science, aquaculture, and marine
biology. These universities offer degree programs in fisheries and aquaculture, as well as
related fields such as marine biology, oceanography, and environmental science.
The history of fisheries education dates back to the early 19th century when the first fisheries
school was established in France in 1829. Over the next few decades, similar institutions were
established in other European countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, and
Norway. These early schools focused primarily on teaching students how to cultivate and
manage fish stocks for commercial purposes.
In the United States, the first fisheries school was established in 1874 at the University of
Michigan. The school was initially established to study the biology of Great Lakes fish
species, but it eventually expanded its focus to include marine biology and oceanography.
Over the next few decades, several other fisheries schools were established in the United
States, including the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the University of
Washington's School of Fisheries.
In the 20th century, fisheries education continued to expand as the demand for seafood and
other marine resources grew. New fisheries universities were established in many countries,
including Japan, Canada, Australia, and several African nations. These universities focused
not only on the management and cultivation of fish stocks, but also on the broader
environmental and ecological issues related to fisheries and marine ecosystems.
Today, fisheries universities continue to play a critical role in the management and
conservation of marine resources. They provide students with the knowledge and skills
necessary to address the complex challenges facing the world's oceans, from overfishing and
pollution to climate change and habitat destruction. Many fisheries universities also conduct
research in these areas, developing new technologies and strategies to improve the
sustainability and productivity of global fisheries.

In order to accommodate the increased demand for a nutritious food, the strain on already-
scarce resources is expanding dramatically as the population grows. The industry of fisheries
and aquaculture is crucial in supplying this rising protein need.

text=The%20College%20of%20Fisheries%2C%20established,in%20fisheries%20and
%20allied%20disciplines.)
India has a long and rich history of fisheries and aquaculture education that dates back to the
early 20th century. The following significant turning points in the development of fisheries
and aquaculture colleges in India:
• 1920s - In what is now West Bengal, India, the first fisheries research station was
founded. This research facility specialised on the raising and breeding of carp.
• India became independent from British colonial authority in 1947, and at that point the
nation focused on growing its aquaculture and fisheries industries.
31
Gateway college of architecture and design, Sonipat I Dissertation report 2022
• In order to perform study on India's inland fisheries, the Central Inland Fisheries
Research Institute (CIFRI) was founded at Barrackpore, West Bengal, in the 1950s–
1960s. Also, the CIFRI started providing training courses for fishermen and fish
growers.
• 1970s - The Central Institute of Fisheries Education (CIFE) was founded in Mumbai
by the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). The CIFE was India's first
university devoted to fisheries, and it provided degree programmes in fisheries science
and allied areas.
• The Tamil Nadu Fisheries University, the West Bengal University of Animal and
Fishery Sciences, and other colleges and institutions specialising in fisheries and
aquaculture were founded in India throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
• 2000s and up - In India, the study of fisheries and aquaculture has developed and
grown, and more schools and institutions now offer degree programmes in these areas.
The emphasis has also switched to the use of technology to increase productivity and
lower environmental impacts, as well as to sustainable fisheries and aquaculture
methods.
• Several schools and universities now offer degree programmes in fisheries science,
aquaculture, fish processing, and related subjects in India, where the fisheries and
aquaculture industry is now growing. A competent workforce that can support the
long-term expansion and development of India's fisheries and aquaculture industry is
being created thanks to these initiatives.
Indeed, aquaculture genetics dates back more than 2000 years to the birth of aquaculture in
China and the Roman Empire. By shortening their life cycles and domesticating species like
the common carp, Cyprinus carpio, the early fish farmers unknowingly altered the gene
frequencies and performance of wild-caught fish, genetically improving them for use in fish
farms. Genetics and selective breeding of fish and shellfish were first used by the Chinese,
Europeans, and others when they discovered mutations and phenotypic variation for colour,
body conformation, and finnage. They subsequently selected for these characteristics as well
as for body size. Also, during the previous two millennia, researchers studying fish culture
32
Gateway college of architecture and design, Sonipat I Dissertation report 2022
and science who analyzed and assessed closely related species for their viability for
aquaculture applications were unintentionally performing some of the first fish genetics
studies. The comparison of several species is a genetic comparison since closely related
species are reproductively separated and have species status due to their genetic distance from
one another (Dunham et al., 2001). But deliberate breeding and genetics programs probably
weren't vigorous and tightly concentrated until the 1800s, when the Chinese created fancy
goldfish and the Japanese produced koi.
Depending on the particular requirements and programme objectives, the size of ponds utilised
in fisheries and aquaculture institutions might change. Universities may feature sizable outside
ponds or raceways that are utilised for research, instruction, or manufacturing. These ponds,
which may be several hectares in size, could be used to research the development, nutrition,
and reproduction of various fish species or to raise fish for human food or for stocking in
nearby bodies of water.
In other instances, institutions could have smaller ponds or tanks for teaching and research
that are either indoors or outdoors. These smaller ponds can be used to test novel aquaculture
technologies like recirculating aquaculture systems or aquaponics or to conduct in-depth
research on certain areas of fish biology, such as the impact of various water quality factors
on fish development and health.
The size of the ponds utilised in fisheries and aquaculture institutions will ultimately be
determined by a variety of elements, such as the specific goals of the programme, the resources
at hand, and the local environmental circumstances.
4.8 CONCLUSION
Furthermore, it should be noted that fisheries and aquaculture colleges are crucial for teaching
future fishers and aquaculturists. These institutions give students with real, hands-on learning
opportunities by offering a wide range of courses and utilising a variety of teaching
techniques. Alumni from these institutions are well-equipped to join the workforce and
33
Gateway college of architecture and design, Sonipat I Dissertation report 2022
contribute significantly to the sector. To further understand the long-term effects of fisheries
and aquaculture college programmes, more study is required.
34
Gateway college of architecture and design, Sonipat I Dissertation report 2022
When selecting an architectural case study for a fisheries college, there are several criteria that
should be considered to ensure that the design meets the specific needs and requirements of
the college. Some key criteria to consider include:
• Functionality: The design should be functional and meet the specific needs of the
college. This could include features such as classrooms, laboratories, research spaces,
and other facilities required for fisheries education.
• Sustainability: The design should be sustainable and environmentally responsible,
taking into account factors such as energy efficiency, water conservation, and the use
of renewable materials.
• Aesthetics: The design should be visually appealing and fit in with the surrounding
environment. This could include features such as landscaping, building materials, and
architectural style.
• Cost: The design should be cost-effective and within the budget of the college.
• Safety: The design should prioritize safety, including considerations for emergency
exits, fire safety, and accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
• Flexibility: The design should be flexible and adaptable to accommodate potential
future changes in the needs of the college.
• Technology: The design should incorporate the latest technologies in fisheries
education and research, including advanced laboratory equipment and computer
systems.
• Community engagement: The design should take into account the needs and
preferences of the local community, and may involve community engagement in the
design process.
By considering these criteria, a suitable architectural case study can be selected for a fisheries
college that meets the specific needs and requirements of the institution.
