FMRT
The greater Khulna region, the south west part of Banglasdesh has been characterised by a unique blend of aquatic habitats; fresh, brackish and marine waters supporting a wide diversity of biological and physical resources. Situated a few kilometres away from the Bay of Bengal this region is blessed with Sunderbans, the world largest mangrove forest crisscrossed by numerous creeks and canals.
Understanding the potential of such resources to the prospects of the country,the Fisheries and Marine Resources Technology Discipline was established in 1992 with a mandate to establish an avenue for research and academic programs in all aspects of fisheries for the first time in the country. Over the last fourteen years the FMRT Discipline has experienced substantial growth resulting in an international reputation for training and research in a number of areas, particularly with respect to coastal aquaculture and mangrove ecosystem.
The course followed in the Discipline is a multifaceted one having provisoins for education in biology, ecology, culture and post harvest fisheries. The course, in addition, involves socio-economics, statistics, GIS and remote sensing, computer application etc. The teaching staffs of the Discipline possess speacialised knowledge in the areas of fish biology, marine science, aquaculture, fisheries management, genetics and fish breeding, ecology, oceanography and post harvest technology. With all the expertise and facilities that have gone into formulating a balanced fisheries curriculum, the graduate of the FMRT Discipline themselves are worthy for the development of integrated and sustainable fisheries in the country. The Discipline has been on steady growth with manpower being trained from overseas and new facilities being added. Considering the demands of the sectors and having been attained the thresold of expert capabilites, the FMRT Discipline is now preparing to launch Ph.D. course in addition to B.Sc and M.S. ones currently being offered.
Though the principle aim of the Discipline is to carry on providing technically best qualified graduates in Fisheries and Marine Resources Technology, the inner vision is to make efforts for building this institution as a centre of excellence in the country. Throughout the world tyhis day, the keenest attraction has been given in the exploitation of the fisheries resources in the coastal and marine waters in a sustainable manner; the Discipline vows for taking future challenges with its courage and magnitude.
