Kudige, Nov. 14: The Fish Fry Production and Rearing Centre in Harangi, which is the only mahseer fish fry breeding centre in the state, has produced 1 crore 70 lakh fish fry this year through the cultivation of Indian big mahseer fish through the Fisheries Department and supplied them to fish farmers in the district and outside the district. The centre is also distributing fish to hundreds of fish farmers in the neighbouring state of Kerala.
At the Fish Fry Production Centre in Harangi, mahseer fish fry are produced as the first stage as per the department's rules. Then the fish fry are released into the Harangi river and the Kaveri river.
Sachin, Assistant Director of the Fisheries Department, informed that thousands of fry are being produced every year through the cultivation of various species of fish including Indian big mahseer fish, catla, mrigal, common mahseer fish, and grass mahseer.
The Harangi Fish Fry Production and Rearing Center has been focusing on the breeding of Mahesir fish, which has led to an increase in their reproduction. Due to this, the Mahesir fish population in the Harangi River up to the Kudi of Harangi has increased.
Not only is the weather favorable for the growth of Mahesir fish in the Cauvery River from Bettageri near Kushalnagar to Shirangala, which is on the border with Kodagu, but the ban on fishing in the Cauvery River and Harangi River has also helped in increasing their population.
Fish farming will help the fish farmers develop their ponds. Sachin also informed that the department will provide various types of training related to farming free of cost to the fish farmers.
