This 100-acre project was set up near Mando Dero, taluka Rohri, under the Sindh Agriculture Development Project. Breeding operations commenced in July 1986, even though installation work was not completed until June 1988. Nearly three million hatchlings of two kinds of fish were produced in the first year of operation, rising to 5.8 million in 1995-6.
Rahu, Mirgai, and Gulfam (Cyprins carpio
) hatchlings are sold at a ratio of approximately 2:1 fish. Farmers purchase the stock at nominal rates.
