Capacity building workshop on mass seed production of small indigenous fish species, Assam, India

Abstract

To build capacity and transfer the technology among government functionaries and researchers, WorldFish organized a "Capacity Building Workshop on Mass Seed Production of Small Indigenous Fish Species" in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries, Assam. The workshop took place on July 6, 2023, at the campus of the Indian Institute of Banking Management (IIBM) in Guwahati. In this event, a handbook titled “Induced breeding of mola carplet (Amblypharyngodon mola) for mass seed production – A practical guideline” was released. This practical manual, a result of WorldFish's efforts, provides a unique, step-by-step guideline for induced breeding of mola. Any fish hatchery interested in breeding mola can follow this manual, which makes a significant contribution to the development of nutrition-sensitive aquaculture.
