Yezin fishery camp, hub of fish farming, hatching in Nay Pyi Taw Council Area

Yezin fishery camp in Zeyathiri Township of Nay Pyi Taw Council Area operates fish farming and distribution of fingerlings.
The fishery camp is formed with the pedigree fish farm, nursery ponds and water tanks for the development of fish resources in the area.
The fishery camp under the Nay Pyi Taw Fisheries Department has a plan to release fingerlings into natural water areas in Nay Pyi Taw Council Area so as to realize the Good Aquaculture Practice-GAqP.
For the time being, the camp is engaging in the preservation of pedigree fish species, hatching of fingerlings and distribution of fingerlings using 12 farms for pedigree fish species, 40 nursery ponds and two water tanks.
In the 2020-21 financial year, the Nay Pyi Taw Fisheries Department adopted a plan to distribute 4 million of fingerlings to the local fish farmers in the Nay Pyi Taw Council Area thanks to efforts of the Yezin fishery camp while releasing fingerlings into dams and reservoirs, rivers, creeks and lakes.
In order to develop the fishery industry, fishery camps need to extend the breeding of marketable fish species and choose the fingerlings with the resilience of climatic conditions. Moreover, fish farmers should take care of preventing infection of diseases that happen at fish.
Moreover, fish farms should systematically extend their work processes and the breeding of fish for local consumption and distribution of pet fish on a commercial scale to increase income for the fishery sector.
Yezin fishery camp on the duty of fish farming and distribution of fingerlings needs to emphasize the development of fish resources in Nay Pyi Taw Council Area contributing to the food sufficiency of local people. — Zaw Min Lwin (District IPRD)/GNLM
