Welcome to the official website of the Department of Agriculture-National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (DA-NFRDI)!

As the primary research arm of the DA-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), our institute has been implementing research for development (R4D) projects to generate scientific knowledge and technologies responsive to the needs of the Philippine fishery sector. One way to deliver these results closer to the public is through our official website.

We have provided through this page the institute’s mandate, vision and mission, R4D objectives, core values, our services and functions, and a list of opportunities to work at the institute. Moreover, this page chronicles the institute’s accomplishments and ongoing programs and activities. You can access these in the form of articles, photo releases, and infographics. You may also freely download our publications such as newsletters, scientific journals, reports, books, manuals, training modules, and reports, among others, to know more about what we do.

As we further develop our website, we at DA-NFRDI recognize the importance of providing accessible and accurate scientific information vital to the country’s fisheries sector.
