Aberdeen-based FRS, an agency of the Scottish Government, said the year to March 31 2007 was a success despite a small cut in staff numbers.
Chief executive Robin Cook said highlights of the year included a Science Day for stakeholders, FRS involvement in government strategies and progress on the construction of a new research vessel, Alba na Mara.
There was also progress on plans for a new fish veterinary aquarium.
The average number of administrative staff employed by FRS fell to 40 in 2006-07 from 45 previously, but the total head-count fell by just one person to 321.
FRS reported operating profits of £1.819million for the latest period, compared to £830,000 previously.
Operating income from contract work undertaken on a commercial basis for third parties, for which FRS must recover the full cost, fell to £1.36million from £1.5million last time. The accounts showed Mr Cook earned about £80,000
