Aquaculture & Marine Biotechnology has been the subject of great relevance for ensuring sustainable utilization of the marine resources along with coping up with future challenges for discovery of new products and process of economic importance through its rich biodiversity that is yet to be fully understood and exploited. The Department of Biotechnology has garnered several milestones in Aquaculture & Marine Biotechnology. Diagnostics, vaccine and immune-stimulant research in aquaculture has been a priority along with discovery of bio-molecules that have anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer properties. DBT funded research has lead to commercialization of aquatic animal disease diagnostics and health management technologies in India. The initiation and establishment of suitable cell lines and tissue culture systems from aquatic animals is expected to provide the much needed support to enhance diagnosis of aquatic animal viruses and could lead to development and large scale production of vaccines.
