Fish breeding and seed production underway in Dimapur

Fish breeding and seed production got underway at Jorapukhuri Government Fish Farm Dimapur on Monday, May 15. 

According to DIPR report, chief executive officer FFDA, Dimapur Dr.Vimezo Kire informed that the department produced fish seeds every year for the fisher folks of the state. 

He stated that the main objective of the department was to provide quality fish seeds to the farmers and to help them avail fish seeds on time. 

Dr. Kire said that the success of induced breeding depended mainly on the health of the brooders and climatic conditions. Observing that there was a decline in brooder fishes in recent years due to excessive illegal use of hooks, nets and poison, Dr.Vimezo on behalf of the fisheries department appealed to the public for their cooperation and asked them to do away with such activities.
