Memorandum of Understanding signed between ICAR-CIFRI, Barrackpore and Directorate of Fisheries, Govt of Odisha on 12 November 2018 at Bhubaneswar, Odisha for installation of CIFRI Pen HDPE technology in different reservoirs of Odisha state. Dr. B. K. Das, Director, ICAR-CIFRI, Barrackpore and Shri P. K. Senapati, IAS, Director, Directorate of Fisheries, from Government of Odisha signed the MOU.
The ICAR-CIFRI developed CIFRI PEN HDPE technology will be installed in 100 ha of reservoirs for in-situ quality fish fingerlings production and table fish production in different parts of Odisha including naxal affected districts of Navrangpur and Malkangiri. Adoption of this technology will boost quality fish fingerlings availability in these reservoirs and boosting the fish production and productivity from these reservoirs, and in a long run improve the livelihood of the fishers of Odisha. The other reservoirs where this technology is going to be installed are in Cuttack, Mayurbhanj, Nayagarh, Gajapati, Ganjam, Kalahandi, Kandhmal, Koraput, Nuapada, Rayagada, Bargarh, Bolangir, Dhenkanal, Kendujhar, Sambalpur, Jharsuguda and Sundargarh districts.
The Central Inland Fisheries Research Institute has developed a number of management protocols and fish production enhancement technologies suitable for reservoirs and wetlands. One of the important technologies is pen culture for raising advance fingerling in-situ for stocking in reservoirs and wetlands. The Institute has developed CIFRI PEN HDPE technology for in-situ quality fish fingerling (seed) and table fish production in wetlands and reservoirs and this technology was commercialized on 17 March 2018 and licensed to M/s M. R. Aquatech, Bhubaneswar, Odisha.
