Projects on the anvil include opening an aqua clinic as a facility to take up advanced studies on various diseases and afflictions that affect fish stock and other marine population, Fisheries Department sources said.
The clinic would be developed with support of the National Fisheries Development Board.
As part of expansion of projects, a training centre for fish farmers and an agriculture technology information would be
set up with the technical support of Indian Council of Agriculture Research (ICAR).
Strengthening academic activities of the university, post-graduate programmes in physical oceanography, biological oceanography and biodiversity, fisheries management, fisheries economy and feed technology would be started, they said.
The referral museum in the varsity campus would be raised to the status of the national fish museum and the decorative fish research centre would be elevated as a centre of excellence.
