Our cage culture project is going well. The 2nd cycle stocking already started at Nalcity last week. It was late due to warm weather as we were waiting for rain. The rainy season started here very late due to hot (temperature maximum 40 in some places). The number of cages has increased at Nalcity because some beneficieries have taken a loan from VOSD to extend the number of cages that they have. The technology we introduced in the AwF-VOSD project has spread to another upazila in Pautakhali district. Having read the cage culture book that the project published some farmers have shown their interest and asked for our help.
Next week a workshop will be held at Dhaka on Integrated cage-cum-pond aquaculture, organized jointly by Aquaculture Collaborative Research Support (ACRSP) AIT, Thailand, Bangladesh Fisheries Research Forum (BFRF) and VOSD.on 14th June. I would like to inform you that I am going to make a presentation on the output of the AwF-VOSD cage culture project.
Best Regards
