● Riverine and Estuarine Fisheries Division
This division stationed at Barrackpore, presently works on the Hooghly-Matla and Narmada Estuarine systems. Biotic and abiotic features of estuarine tributaries and mangroves of the Sunderban region are also being studied.
Research on biology and migratory behaviour of hilsa is being conducted. It is also undertaking study on genetic characteristics of hilsa from different stretches to know its population structure.
