'''ICAR - Central Institute of Fisheries Education, Rohtak''' also called as '''ICAR-CIFE Rohtak''' is one of the regional research and education campus of the [[Central Institute of Fisheries Education|Central Institute of Fisheries Education (CIFE)]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://cife.edu.in/cife/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=255&Itemid=359 |title=Home |website=Cife.edu.in |date= |access-date=2016-02-18}}</ref> which is a [[Deemed to be University]] and institution of higher learning for [[fisheries science]].

==History==
CIFE Rohtak is the only central research centre in India dedicated to research on use of inland saline soils and ground water for fish and shrimp culture ([[Inland saline aquaculture]]). Traditionally a non fish growing state, CIFE pioneered scientific fish farming in Haryana after successful pilot studies and demonstrations at Dumduma and Sultanpur farm in Gurgaon District, Haryana beginning as early as 1980. In order to further strengthen research in Inland saline aquaculture, CIFE shifted its research centre from [[Sultanpur, Haryana|Sultanpur]] to what was then the National seed farm facility under state fisheries department near [[Rohtak district|Rohtak]] (Lahli-Baiyani Villages) in April 1996.

==Location==
ICAR-CIFE Rohtak centre is located in Lahli Village, [[Rohtak district|Rohtak]], [[Haryana]]. The centre is located about {{cvt|15|km}} from Rohtak city on Rohtak – Bhiwani road.

==Facilities==
This research center has a total farm area of {{cvt|32|acre}}. It has two farms i.e., Baniyani farm dedicated towards high inland saline aquaculture research activities and Lahli farm where low inland saline aquaculture research activities are performed. The center has a soil and water testing lab facility, [[Macrobrachium rosenbergii|scampi (giant freshwater prawn)]] hatchery with the seed production capacity of five million post larvae annually and a wet laboratory to conduct indoor experiments.

==Impact of inland saline shrimp culture technology developed by CIFE Rohtak Centre in Haryana==
In 2013, CIFE Rohtak centre demonstrated Tiger shrimp culture technology in inland saline waters in the farmer's field with the support of NABARD-SDC Rural Innovation Fund. Then in 2014, three farmers of Haryana adopted Pacific white shrimp culture technology in inland saline waters in a total area of about {{cvt|12|acre}}. In 2015, about 25 farmers took up the technology in a total area of about 75 acres. This technology has widely reached among the farmers and more and more farmers are showing interest to adopt this technology. Presently the state fisheries department, Government of Haryana is providing 50% financial assistance to farmers to take up inland saline shrimp culture technology under RKVY scheme.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.harfish.gov.in/RKVY/20152016/Reference%20for%20RKVY%20Project%20implemented%20during%202015-16.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=19 February 2016 |archive-date=2 March 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160302010645/http://www.harfish.gov.in/RKVY/20152016/Reference%20for%20RKVY%20Project%20implemented%20during%202015-16.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref>
