ICAR-National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources, Lucknow, has initiated to popularise ‘ReportFishDisease’ App among fish farmers and fisheries officials of West Bengal.
In this regard, an interaction meeting was organised by ICAR-NBFGR under the guidance of Dr. U. K. Sarkar, Director, ICAR-NBFGR at West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences (WBUAFS), Kolkata, on August 28, 2023, in presence of Dr. B.K. Das, Director, ICAR-Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute, Barrackpore, Dr. S.S. Dana, Director, Research, Extension & Farms, WBUAFS, Kolkata and Dr. Shamik Das, Additional Director, Dept. of Fisheries, Govt. of West Bengal.
Dr. Sarkar urged fish farmers and fisheries officials to report disease incidences in aquaculture at the field level using the App. This will help improve farmer-based reporting, get scientific advice and reduce disease losses, thereby increasing farmers’ income. ICAR-NBFGR has developed the App under the National Surveillance Programme for Aquatic Animal Diseases.
Over 50 fish farmers, fisheries officials of West Bengal and other stakeholders attended the programme.
