The use of quality fish seeds/fingerlings is one of the major contributors to good yield and improved productivity of farmers in the aquaculture sector. Farmers are faced with the constraint of accessing good quality fish seeds because there are only very few hatcheries with quality fish seeds, and over time, as a result of inbreeding, the quality of seeds from the good hatcheries have declined.
To address the constraint, PIND partnered with the Fisheries Society of Nigerria (FISON) to develop quality broodstock banks for catfish with selected hatcheries in the region.
“The broodstock development program has contributed so much to our growth and we are getting good feedback from our clients. I must thank PIND for this program”
