Reservoir fisheries and aquaculture development for resettlement in Indonesia

Abstract

When Indonesia's state electric company constructed two dams along Citarum River to boost its hydroelectric reserves, two new reservoirs were created, agricultural and settled lands were lost, and thousands of families were displaced. This book gives the results of research conducted to help resettle the displaced families and help provide alternative livelihood sources, through aquaculture and fisheries technologies. It is a success story in itself.
