The National Seafood Inspection Laboratory (NSIL) was established as the Regional Pascagoula Technology Station in 1957 and was reorganized in 1974 to scientifically support the Department of Commerce National Seafood Inspection

Division of the National Marine Fisheries Service.
NSIL supplies seafood and aquatic animal health information and data to:
- DOC/NOAA/NMFS/OSF
