The Tamil Nadu Fisheries University (TNFU) was set up by Tamil Nadu Fisheries Industry owing to the importance of the fisheries sector in the Indian economy. It focuses on aquaculture based studies, such as adopting scientific methods to harness maximum benefit with minimum input without harming the environment or exhausting natural resources. Their courses also teach students the process involved in scientific rearing of tilapia, catfish, shrimps, loaches and other ornamental fish. And to top it off, they even work towards diagnosing fish diseases and testing the quality of fishery products, thereby working towards increasing productivity and sustainability of livelihood. While some colleges provide inadequate training, a private university in North India went one step further, and sold fake degrees.
