{{A new method of fish farming is being tried out in Bugesera district lakes where fish is left in the purposely built cases that keep afloat in the water. }} <\/p>\n
The method limits fish from moving all around water in the lake, with good feeding, they grow quickly promoting fish farming says Wilson Rutaganira the coordinator of PAIGELAC.<\/p>\n
These floating cases are made with small-spaced nets with about 2 meters in height; these nets are tied together around the cases and strengthened by stones to keep them from falling apart.<\/p>\n
This technical program is meant to promote fish farming and increasing the fish production in Rwanda.<\/p>\n
\u201cEver since we started testing this new method, the fish production increased on much percentage as we plant small fishes weighing about 30-40 grams and in 6 months the same fish weigh in between 400 and 500 grams.\u201d Rutaganira explained.<\/p>\n
With each case having about 2000 small fish, each case produces about 7 tons of fish in the period of six months which is worth Rwf1.4 million when planting and maintaining is worth Rwf1million.<\/p>\n
This method is already being used in all lakes in Ruhondo, Muhazi and Burera district.<\/p>\n
