WorldFish Center |
The WorldFish Center is an international, non-profit, non-governmental organization that works with partners to reduce poverty and hunger by improving fisheries and aquaculture in developing countries.
All activities are designed to meet the objectives of the Millennium Development Goals. To achieve its mission the Center focuses on two development challenges: to improve the productivity and resilience of small scale fisheries and to expand sustainable aquaculture that benefits the poor. The Center is organized around three disciplinary areas: policy economics and social sciences, natural resource management, and aquaculture and genetic improvement.
WorldFish (formerly the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management or ICLARM) was founded in 1975 with funding from the Rockefeller Foundation. It was based in the Philippines from 1977 to 2002 and is now headquartered in Penang, Malaysia. The Center has offices in twelve countries across Asia, Africa and the Pacific: Bangladesh, Cambodia, Cameroon, China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Fiji, Malawi, New Caledonia, the Philippines, Solomon Islands and Zambia. WorldFish employs 300 staff including 50 PhD level scientists and carries out its mission in 25 countries worldwide. It is one of 15 specialized research centers supported by the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGIAR).
The Center is a sponsor of FishBase and ReefBase.
