The National Fisheries Development Board – North Eastern Region Centre (NFDB-NERC), in collaboration with the Department of Fisheries (DoF), Meghalaya, successfully organized a three-day residential training program on “Induced Breeding & Seed Production of Carps.” The event was held from 26-28 June 2024 at the Meghalaya State Fisheries Research & Training Institute in Barapani.
The training program saw the participation of 25 hatchery owners from across the region, all eager to enhance their knowledge and skills in advanced aquaculture practices. The primary focus of the training was on induced breeding techniques and the seed production of carps, a critical area for boosting fishery productivity and sustainability in the region.
Expert trainers from the NFDB-NERC and the Department of Fisheries led the sessions, ensuring that participants received comprehensive guidance. The program also included field visits to local hatcheries, allowing attendees to observe and learn from successful breeding operations in real-world settings.
One of the highlights of the training was the interactive sessions where hatchery owners shared their experiences and discussed challenges faced in their operations. This exchange of knowledge and ideas was invaluable in fostering a collaborative approach towards improving carp breeding practices in the region.
The participants expressed their gratitude for the opportunity to attend such a well-structured and informative program. Many highlighted the potential benefits of applying the new techniques and knowledge gained to their hatcheries, anticipating significant improvements in their breeding and seed production processes.
