Minister says Arunachal can become inland cold water fish exporter
Ziro: Agriculture and Fisheries minister Tage Taki on Monday said Arunachal Pradesh can turn into a major exporter of inland cold water fish if correct methodology and technology to harness the enormous potential available in the state could be utilized.
Speaking at the 3-day training-cum-demonstration on harvest and post-harvest technologies for Lower Subansiri district under the North East Hill component here, Taki was quoted as saying by East Mojo that Arunachal has a huge potential in inland cold water fishery in Tawang, Bomdila, Mechuka and Ziro.
“We need to be proactive and encourage our fish farmers to breed and rear exotic cold water fishes like trout which are highly priced at the national and international markets. The fishery department is willing to provide all required technical knowledge, inputs and logistics to support the cause of fishery revolution in the state,” Taki said.
Appreciating the handholding support of ICAR–Central Institute of Fisheries Technology (ICAR-CIFT), Visakhapatnam Research Centre for the growth and development of the fishery sector in the state, the minister informed that Lower Subansiri district is coming up in a big way in the fishery sector.
