National Fisheries University

The National Fisheries University trains students in fisheries management, marine sciences, and aquaculture through specialized laboratories and research vessels at its coastal campus.

Founded in 1941, the institution transformed into an independent administrative agency in 2001 to modernize its educational framework and meet industry requirements.

The university organizes regular events focused on sustainable fishing methods and traditional Japanese seafood preparation techniques throughout the academic year.

Students gain direct experience through internships, laboratory work, and field training using the university's research ships and aquaculture facilities.

This institution stands as Japan's sole higher education establishment specifically dedicated to fisheries with this specialization in its official name.
