Established in 1977, WorldFish is a leading international research organization working to improve food security, nutrition, and livelihoods through aquatic food systems that are sustainable, equitable, and inclusive. 
It collaborates with international, regional and national partners to enable the delivery of transformative innovations, tools, and practices to advance aquatic food systems through its cutting edge research, evidence for policymaking and knowledge co-creation.

Interns at WorldFish Center work alongside renowned international researchers and experts in the field at Redang Island and the WorldFish Center's research labs in Penang.
