Fish farming project launched in Neyyar Dam to support tribal communities
fish farming project
in the
Neyyar Dam
reservoir. The project aims to provide livelihoods for the
tribal communities
residing near the reservoirs.
The minister said initially, there were obstacles in obtaining permission from the forest department for the project, but these were resolved through subsequent discussions. The profits from the project, which economically support the tribal communities, should be used for the social and economic upliftment of these communities.
The project is implemented through the Agency for Development of Aquaculture, Kerala, (ADAK), under the fisheries department. Since the project areas are part of protected zones as per wildlife conservation regulations, it is executed with the forest department's approval. Each phase of the project was first tested before being implemented in Neyyar. There are also plans to roll out this project in the Idukki and Peechi reservoirs.
As part of the project, 14 selected beneficiaries received special training in cage management and the rearing of fish such as pearl spot and murrel. According to the project, 100 high-density polyethylene floating cages were installed in the reservoirs. Based on studies conducted in the Neyyar reservoir, it was decided to cultivate pearl spot and
murrel fish
. The price set is Rs 450 per kg for pearl spot and Rs 350 per kg for murrel.
