(HBO) – A recent ceremony to release fishes to Hoa Binh reservoir has drawn a large number of Buddhist monks, nuns and followers as well as the local administration and management agencies. The release, funded by businesses, monks, nuns and followers, sees over 60,000 fingerlings of different kinds swimming into the lake.


Organisations join the activity of releasing fishes to develop aquatic resources in Da River.

 Covering a total area of 8,892 hectares, Hoa Binh Reservoir in Hoa Binh province is considered as a precious source of aquatic species of the northwestern region with many valuable fish species such as "chien” (Bagarius bagarius), "bong” (Spinibarbus denticulatus), "lang” (Bagridae), "dam xanh” (Kyphosidae), "anh vu” (Semilabeo notabilis), and many others.

 

Aquaculture has helped thousands of local families reduce poverty and improve their living conditions.

 Localities along the banks of the lake have launched a number of communications activities to protect and develop aquatic resources sustainably, creating chances for poverty reduction.

 Dinh Van Huy, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Hien Luong commune (Da Bac), said that the commune has about 900 hectares of water area. Over the past many years, the commune has paid great attention to improving public awareness in implementing the Law on Fisheries, reducing and preventing the use of electricity pulse and gill net in fishing activities, and developing the fish farming in line with the planning.

 Locals have also applied science and technology advances in disease management and fish farming to safety standards, thus opening an effective orientation in lake-based economic development.

 In recent years, the province has maintained the activity of releasing fishes to the lake to enrich the aquatic resources and enhancing the awareness of organisations, individuals and the public on the significance and responsibilities in protecting aquatic resources.

 The province has implemented aquaculture in line with environmental protection, prohibiting the use of explosives, toxic chemicals and electricity pulse in fishing, while actively enriching the aquatic resources, managing species, improving public awareness of the resources management and protection.

 The releasing of fishes into the Hoa Binh Reservoir helps reproduce and preserve the biodiversity to create positive impact on the public and enhance the awareness of Buddhist monks, nuns and followers as well as locals in safeguarding aquatic resources./.
