ICAR-CMFRI has joined forces with the Department of Fisheries, A&N Administration to organize a comprehensive 3-day training program on ‘Marine Ornamental Fish Breeding’. This event, which commenced today at the Fisheries Training Centre located in Marine Hill, A&N Islands, aims to equip participants with the latest knowledge and techniques in the breeding of marine ornamental fish. The training program is designed to benefit local fishers, marine enthusiasts, and professionals in the field of marine biology, offering them an opportunity to enhance their skills and contribute to the sustainable development of the marine ornamental fish industry.
The training sessions are being conducted by experts from ICAR-CMFRI and the Department of Fisheries, who bring with them a wealth of experience and expertise in marine fish breeding. Over the course of the three days, participants will engage in both theoretical and practical sessions, covering a wide range of topics such as broodstock management, larval rearing, and the use of advanced breeding techniques. The hands-on approach of the training is expected to provide participants with a thorough understanding of the breeding process, enabling them to apply these techniques in their own practices.
This collaborative initiative underscores the commitment of ICAR-CMFRI and the Department of Fisheries, A&N Administration to promoting sustainable marine practices and supporting the local economy. By focusing on marine ornamental fish breeding, the training program aims to open up new avenues for income generation for the local communities, while also contributing to the conservation of marine biodiversity. The program is a significant step towards building a knowledgeable and skilled workforce in the marine sector, fostering a culture of sustainability and innovation in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
