NaFisH@DOF
The National Fish Health Research Center (NaFisH), is a centre under the fisheries research institute, located separately with the FRI main building. NaFisH was established on 1st April 2002 and play major roles in conducting R&D in fish health management in Malaysia. NaFisH received R&D allocations, mostly through the development fund under the Malaysia Plan (8th, 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th) along with grants from MOSTI (IRPA, e-Science Fund) and international funds (JIRCAS). NaFisH is well equipped with 11 research laboratories managed under 2 main units: microbiology & parasitology (bacteriology, virology, parasitology units) and diagnosis & disease control (epidemiology and limnology, pathology and molecule biology, vaccinology and immunology units).
Main Research Scope:
- Epidemiology of economically important fish diseases.
- Research in development of control and prevention strategies in aquatic animal health (AAH).
- Research in alternative treatment for control and prevention strategies of AAH.
