Fisheries Research and Training Centre of Department of Zoology, University of North Bengal is a research and training centre and has mandate of research, training and extension in different aspects of freshwater aquaculture in North Bengal region including Darjeeling hills. The Centre has 11 (Eleven) numbers of ponds of assorted types namely nursery, rearing and stocking occupying an area of 1.5 ha and located within the University Campus alongside the flowing Magurmari River and an onsite Field Laboratory having the facility for research and training (0.5 Km from the Department of Zoology) along with an extended aquaculture unit with cemented and Fibre glass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks of varying shape and size and a circular eco-hatchery at the Department of Zoology, University of North Bengal.

The development of the “Fisheries Research and Training Centre” was initiated by Late Hon’ble Vice Chancellor, Prof. Krishna Nath Chatterjee, University of North Bengal during his tenure in 1994 after discussing the matter with the Faculty Members, Department of Zoology, University of North Bengal and the Department of Fisheries, Government of West Bengal. The Centre with 11 ponds developed on a 1.5 ha marshy/derelict land and a field laboratory, erstwhile known as “Krishnanath Fishery Research and Training Centre” (resolved in the Executive Council meeting held on 22.12.1997). The funding for the development of the Centre was made available from “Jawahar Rojgar Yogana Programme” and routed through the Department of Fisheries, Government of West Bengal and Siliguri Mahakuma Parisad. After the successful completion of the construction of the 11 ponds of different categories and a Field Laboratory, the Centre was inaugurated in 1998 by the then Vice Chancellor, Prof. R.G. Mukherjee. The onus of fulfilling the objectives of the “Krishnanath Fishery Research & Training Centre” was initially given jointly to Department of Zoology, NBU and Department of Fisheries, Government of West Bengal. To commence with, a seed money of about Rs. 7000/- was sanctioned in the Budget under “Revenue Expenditure, NBU-General Administration & Common Service” and chargeable head “Other Expenses: NBU A/C Fisheries Complex” and later revised to Rs.20,000/- (FY:2003-2004). This revised amount of Rs. 20,000/- was continued to be sanctioned in the budget till FY: 2007-2008. From FY: 2013-2014, University declared it as a “Fisheries Research and Training Centre” with an initial budget of Rs 50,000/- (Fifty thousand only) under aegis of Department of Zoology, University of North Bengal. During the period 2004 - 2016, 3 (three) consecutive major research and extension projects funded by Department of Biotechnology, New Delhi (2004-2007; 2009-2013; 2012-2016) were sanctioned to Dr. S. Barat for imparting training to Women Folk in Ornamental fish Rearing and Breeding, Integrated Management of Coldwater Fish Culture for Economic Upliftment of SC/ST Population in Darjeeling Hills and for Establishment of Rural Bio-resource Complex in North Bengal, respectively. These projects, therefore, helped us to fulfill the objectives of the Fisheries Research and Training Centre. At present, work is continuing in the form of training the beneficiaries in the art of ornamental fish culture, research on endemic fish species and holding workshops.

Presently one ponds is being maintained for rearing the Indian Major Carps viz. Catla catla (Catla) to carry out current research work on the somatic growth and reproduction in carps as a part of the ongoing research project funded by CSIR, Govt. of India to Dr Sourav Mukherjee, Department of Zoology. In addition to the Catla catla, the rearing of Labeo rohita (Rohu), Cirhinus mrigala (Mrigala), Danio rerio (Zebrafish), Puntius sp. (Punti) are also being maintained simultaneously with future research aptitude. The other two stocking ponds primarily sheltered the air-breathing fishes viz., Heteropneustes fossilis (Singhi), Clarias batrachus (Magur), etc. Besides, all the ponds are also housing various kinds of phytoplankton and zooplankton, which serve the natural food for fish, and serve as a vital component of the pond ecosystem in maintaining primary productivity.

The Centre is run and funded by the University. It has at present on honorary Director, one Project Assistant and a Peon. However, the Govt. of West Bengal has from time to time given lump sum grants to set up the Centre and conduct various activities.

The Govt. has yet to approve and sanction any financial assistance for the Faculty Structure submitted to it by the University. It proposed for a Director, Two Assistant Directors (One for Language & One for Culture), some posts for Research Scholars and the usual office staff. However, the work of the Centre is monitored by a Working Committee consisting of learned members and chaired by the Vice-Chancellor of the University.
