Very good work is being done in the fisheries sector in the State. PAN has been installed in 17 reservoirs and fish fingers are being cultivated by storing fish seed in it, which will be released in the dam. For this also, nets, fish seeds, food and others have been provided to prepare pen on 100 per cent grant,” he added.At present, fish will be stored in the pen established by BPT in Gaitshud Reservoir and scientific information will also be given to the beneficiaries regarding this.
Along with this, it was informed by the Director that apart from the Indian Major Carp in the reservoirs, fish of indigenous Sarana Pothia species should also be introduced which is capable of self-breeding in the reservoirs, so that automatic stocking in the reservoirs will be continuous, whose price is also equal to Rohu, Katla and others. “It is rich in nutrients, Rohu, Katla Mrigal are often unable to breed in the reservoirs, so doing so will give a new dimension in the field of fisheries.
Along with this, Sarana Pothia fish should also be put in cages along with Pangasius in 20-25 percent, which will keep the net of the cage clean, which will reduce the labor cost and disease will not occur in the cage and the income will increase.
Shrimp can also be reared in the reservoirs, which will increase the availability of lobster in Jharkhand,” he added.
