Discover the power of Small Indigenous Fish Species (SIS) like Mola, Pool Barb, and Swamp Barb! Packed with essential nutrients such as iron, calcium, zinc, and vitamins, these tiny fish play a crucial role in combating malnutrition—especially for women and children. Unfortunately, due to overfishing and pollution, SIS populations have been declining, leaving communities in need of sustainable solutions. Through BMZ and GIZ supported project “Taking Nutrition-Sensitive Carp-SIS Polyculture Technology to Scale”, innovative hatchery-based breeding techniques in Odisha and Assam are helping farmers revive SIS populations, boosting nutrition, enhancing income, and preserving aquatic biodiversity.
