Kerala's rivers and backwaters are home to diverse native fish species, many of which are declining due to pollution, invasive species, and habitat loss. Our Native Fish Breeding program works to breed and release native species back into their natural habitats.
By partnering with local fisheries and aquatic research institutions, we breed endangered species in controlled environments before releasing them into restored waterways, helping to rebuild healthy aquatic ecosystems.
We focus on indigenous fish species native to Kerala's waters
