The
Fishery Industrial Technology Center is
part of the University of Alaska Fairbanks'
School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences.
FITC conducts research in fish harvesting
and processing technology, and offers
graduate-level programs for university
students.
FITC programs are designed to maximize
benefits from Alaska's renewable fisheries
resources through the application of modern
food science and technology. The primary
objectives of FITC programs are to facilitate
the profitable production of wholesome,
high-quality seafood and to provide training
and disseminate information to the industry.
The Kodiak
Fisheries Research Center (KFRC)
is a $20 million research facility committed to
the preservation, enhancement and management of
North Pacific marine ecosystems and resources.
The KFRC provides labs and office facilities to
the National Marine Fisheries Service, State of
Alaska Department of Fish and Game and the University
of Alaska. The facility houses open seawater laboratories
for fisheries, shellfish and sea mammal research.
In 2000, the architects and planners of the facility
were awarded the 2000 American Institute of Architects
Northwest and Pacific Regional Design Award for
the design of the Kodiak Fisheries Research Center.
