National Workshop on Species Priorities Held by ICAR-CIFA
Imagine a big meeting where people who know a lot about fish farming got together.
They talked about which types of fish are most important to study and improve.
The goal is to make sure fish farming in India grows in a smart way.
They discussed how to breed better fish, raise healthy baby fish, and use the best farming methods.
People from different government groups, research centers, and fish farms shared their knowledge.
They want to help fish farmers be successful and ensure there are plenty of fish for everyone.
They looked at different types of water where fish live.
This will help decide where to focus research efforts.
ICAR-CIFA and AFSIB jointly organized a two-day national workshop.
The workshop focused on species prioritization in aquaculture and genetic improvement.
Participants included policy makers, scientists, hatchery owners, and fish farmers.
The workshop aimed to guide future research and development in Indian aquaculture.
The workshop evaluated current breeding, seed production, and culture practices.
