Thrust areas of research
• Assess the exploited marine finfish stocks following suitable models integrated with ageing techniques and formulate sustainable fishery management plans / policy advisories
• Forecast fishery of finfish resources affected/impacted by fishery dependent and independent (including climate change) factors
• Maintain spatio-temporal database on life-histories of exploited marine finfish resources and their habitats
• Human resource development through training, education and extension activities on marine finfish resources and their fisheries

Technologies/ concepts/ findings
- Three new finfish species identified and one species was resurrected from Indian waters with detailed comparative taxonomic and phylogenetic descriptions.
- Ageing protocols for tropical teleost fishes using hard parts standardized. It can be used for precise understanding of their biology and ecology of the species.
- Ornaments using otoliths designed and popularized, and which has large potential in the jewel industries.
