The State of Gujarat is blessed with the longest coastline of 1600 kms amongst all the maritime states of India. It is on the first rank in total marine fish catch in the country. Similarly, immense inland fisheries resources are also available in the State. For the development and management of these vast fisheries resources, educated and trained men power is quite necessary. To meet these objectives and demands, College of Fisheries Science was set up at Veraval on 10/09/1991 under the aegis of the Gujarat Agricultural University by the Government of Gujarat.
