1. National Fisheries Research and Development Institute

The National Fisheries Research and Development Institute (NFRDI) is an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture (DA) tasked to conduct research and development (R&D) for fisheries. NFRDI was established in recognition of the critical role of fisheries R&D in developing, managing, conserving, and protecting the country’s aquatic resources. As the primary research arm of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR), NFRDI was created through Section 82 of Republic Act (R.A.) 8550, also known as the “Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998,” and amended by R.A. 10654. This law serves as the foundation for the creation of NFRDI, which operates as an attached agency of the Department of Agriculture (DA).
