Native Fish Breeding

Reviving native freshwater fish species in Kerala's rivers and backwaters.

Native Fish Breeding

Restoring Aquatic Biodiversity

Kerala's waterways are home to over 200 native freshwater fish species, many of which are facing decline due to habitat loss, pollution, and invasive species. Our Native Fish Breeding project works to restore these populations through careful breeding programs and habitat restoration.

We breed native species in controlled environments and release them back into natural water bodies, while also working to clean and restore river habitats to support long-term survival.

What We Aim to Achieve

🐟

Species Revival

Breed and release 50,000 native fish into natural waterways by 2028.

💦

Habitat Restoration

Clean and restore 20 km of river habitat for native aquatic species.

👥

Community Awareness

Educate fishing communities on sustainable practices and species protection.

📈

Research

Document native species populations and breeding patterns across Kerala.

🌊

Ecosystem Balance

Restore natural food chains in rivers and backwater systems.

🚚

Sustainable Fishing

Promote responsible fishing practices among local communities.

How We Work

📋

Phase 1: Research & Breeding

Identify endangered native species, establish breeding centers, and begin controlled reproduction programs.

💦

Phase 2: Habitat Prep

Clean river beds, remove invasive species, and restore natural water flow to prepare release sites.

🐟

Phase 3: Release & Monitor

Release bred fish into natural habitats and monitor population recovery over time.
