Boost for fresh water fish industry The Fisheries Ministry has taken initiatives to double its fresh water fish breeding capacity to prevent a possible scarcity of fresh water fish, Ministry sources told the "Daily News" yesterday. Sources said that following the prolonged drought, over 120 tanks and reservoirs have dried up causing complete destruction of fish broods in the drought stricken areas. Under this program a large quantity of fish broods will be re-introduced into tanks in the drought affected areas. Sources added that over 5000 fishing families have been affected by the drought and it will take another six months to grow these broods for a harvest. However, until then fishing families in the drought stricken areas will be provided with food relief, sources assured.
