The National Fisheries Resources Research Institute (NaFIRRI) is a semi-autonomous Public Agricultural Research Institute (PARI) of Uganda, established by the National Agricultural Research Act 2005, headed by a Management Committee and operating under the National Agricultural Research System (NARS). The British colonial Government established it in 1947 as the East African Fisheries Research Organisation (EAFRO). Later in 1960 the name of the Organisation was changed to the East African Freshwater Fisheries Research Organisation (EAFFRO). Following the East African Community (EAC) break up in 1977, the Government of Uganda took it over as the Uganda Freshwater Fisheries Research Organisation (UFFRO). When the National Agricultural Research Organisation(NARO) was formed in 1992, the name of the organisation was changed to Fisheries Research Institute (FIRI), and later to Fisheries Resources Research Institute (FIRRI).
