Eminent scientist Prof. R.V. Seshaiya (Late) established this university in 1957 at Parangipettai as a field laboratory of the Department of Zoology. In October 1963, the department was recognized as a Centre for Advanced Study in Marine Biology by the University Grants Commission (UGC) for its outstanding research contribution[1], it is one of the oldest and most prestigious marine universities in India and India's first research station for the study of marine life in the 1960s.[2]
Faculty
[edit]This university provides 19 Marine biology-related UG, PG and Ph.D. courses.[3][4] More than 200 research project reports have been completed in this center.[5] The National and International organizations have also contributed funds for 45 research projects and it is still helping today. The center's extensive library has nearly 7000 national and international books.[6] The Environment Information Center (ENVIS) of India is working well here.[7][8][9]
Museum
[edit]Thousands of people and students every year visit the museum. Sea horse, Sea snake, Sea cucumber, flying koala, Allah fish, Koduva fish, Paarai fish, Tiger fish, the list goes on and on the example of 60 years of hard work of faculty members to collection and preservation.[6]
Research
[edit]It has also researched growing mangroves and protecting coastal vegetation, sea dunes and dunes vegetation.[10] More than 200 research project reports have been completed in this center. The National and International organizations have also contributed funds for 45 research projects and it is still helping today.[11][12] [13] The team of researchers sequenced nearly 99% of the genome of the species and aligned them to 31 chromosomes of the species at mangrove forest in Pichavaram in Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu.[14] “It is a rare plant species, which can excrete 40 % of the salt through the salt glands in the leaves, besides its extraordinary capacity, to exclude salt entry to the roots."
