The '''Norwegian College of Fishery Science''' (NCFS or in Norwegian NFH: Norges fiskerihøgskole) was established in 1972 as a joint responsibility of the three Norwegian universities in Tromsø, Bergen and Trondheim. In 1988, a new organisational structure was introduced as NCFS was located to Tromsø and organized as a faculty at the [[University of Tromsø]], keeping some degree of autonomy as its own rector etc. NCFS has a particular responsibility for the development of fundamental and scientific expertise within all areas of [[Fishery|fisheries]] and [[aquaculture]] research in [[Norway]]. NCFS is also responsible for educating candidates for employment in the [[fishing industry]] and [[fisheries management]].

In 2004, NCFS established [[Centre of Marine Resource Management]], also known as the MaReMa Centre, to promote multidisciplinary research in the area of fisheries and [[Integrated coastal zone management|coastal zone management]].
