Description Among the subordinate establishments of the Central
Marine Fisheries Research Institute, the Mandapam
Regional Centre at Mandapam Camp is the only Centre
of its kind. The history and the general background of
the Centre essentially recapitulate the establishment
and early growth of the Institute. Following the
recommendations of Lt. Col. Dr Seymour Sewell
and the decision of the Government of India in
1946 to set up a marine fisheries research institute
in the country, the Naval buildings complex along
with 40 hectares of land at Mandapam Camp was acquired
and converted into laboratories, administrative wings
and temporary residences for staff. The Institute, which
was functioning at the Zoology laboratory of the University
of Madras from February, 1947 was then shifted to
Mandapam Camp in 1949. Since then, for over two decades,
until the shifting of Headquarters of the Institute
to Cochin in 1970, this establishment at Mandapam Camp
served as the Headquarters and the focal point for providing
the research direction and support for the development
of the marine fisheries of the country. On the
shifting of the Headquarters of the Institute to Cochin,
the establishment at Mandapam Camp was renamed as
Mandapam Regional Centre of CMFRI.
