Dr. V.R.P. Sinha has been involved in fisheries research and development for the last four decades and his contributions are well known world over. He did his Ph.D. from the University of Liverpool, U.K. in 1965. The correct identification of sex in the European eels and clarification of the confusion of their sex change were his most notable contributions. he also hypothesized that the Sargasso Sea is the emerging ground of leptocephali and not the breeding ground of the European eels. In Malaysia, he fractionated fish pituitary gonadotropin in 1969 and established that gonadal hydration was a prerequisite for spawning of Asiatic major carp. he returned to India in 1971 to provide a very successful leadership in aquaculture research and development and played a very crucial role in revolutionizing freshwater aquaculture through Composite Culture of carp in India, for which he has been honored with many awards and fellowships. Dr Sinha has the distinction to be associated with the establishment of many fisheries institutions in India and abroad. He established the Trainers 'Training Center, the Krishi Vigyan Kendra in 1977 and the Central Institute of Fershwater Aquaculture (CIFA), Mumbai, India, upgraded to the Deemed University in 1989.
