STERILE TILAPIA

It should be possible to introduce sterile TILAPIA for culture, as was being done in Taiwan, Malaysia, China and in other countries electric lights were placed under water for attracting insects to serve as feed for the fish. Dropping of silk worms could be used for fertilising the ponds. There was tremendous scope for securing sizeable returns by undertaking composite culture.

There was weakness in the transfer of technology alias TOT and that was an urgent need to train the farmers who form the main link in the culture activity
