Fishes when this word is
mentioned most people
immediately relate to 'taste'
rather than their existence in
the wild. For time immemorial,
they have been great source of
protein to human beings. While
richer communities have moved up
to commercial fish farming and
devouring what comes out of
these farms, poorer were still
dependent on this resource and
gained some access until very
recent times. Fish stock has
declined in the region and
worldwide?affecting the poorer
sector of the communities who
depended on them. Fish farming
is providing alternative to wild
caught fish. Same time some
commercial farming have used
wetland resources
indiscriminately for fish
farming ultimately threatening
the entire wetland ecosystems.
It is here where HN starts to
take deeper interest and again
probes into the problems in
search of solutions applicable
to the field. |
