According to the
Buthidaung Township Fisheries Department, there are 7 times the amount of
fish-breeding more than before, increasing in the period of three years, thanks
to the calling for the townspeople to do freshwater fish-keeping in the
township, now reaching over 200 acreage.
U Hsan Win, Head
of the Fisheries Department said, “Our department has been carrying out to
sustainably develop the fishery, and to increase the fishery production and
fishery resources. With the plan, we have been releasing fingerlings annually
into ponds, creeks and rivers. Previously, the people in Buthidaung township
did not get accustomed to the practice of catching freshwater fish and breeding
as a profession. So, the department educated them to develop
freshwater fish breeding linking with rural people in the area. We have been
making call for them to aspire to keep fish annually. Now, fresh fish-keeping
remarkably developed in three years period.
In the past,
there were no practices of artificial fish breeding by induced spawning in
Buthidaung township. Now the department went to villages, educating and giving
artificial fish breeding by induced spawning free of charges, selling spawned
fish at cheap prices.
As a result,
there were up to over 200 acres of fish breeding in the township in 3 years
after 2014.
