The total harvest of 35,469 kg includes 27,030 kg of Catla, 7,430 kg of Mrigal, and 1,009 kg of Tilapia.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Arrangements have been made to transport a significant portion of this catch to the Negombo area for use in dried fish production. This has directly benefited 313 fishermen in the region and indirectly created employment opportunities for around 1,650 people. It has also helped supply affordable, high-quality fresh freshwater fish to consumers while supporting local protein needs.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To further strengthen the freshwater fisheries sector, the National Aquaculture Development Authority (NAQDA) has planned to stock 2.4 million freshwater fish fry in the Udawalawe Reservoir this year.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Authority further emphasizes that the government\u2019s primary objective is to strengthen the freshwater fisheries industry in the country while improving livelihoods and the nutritional well-being of the population.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b264930 e-flex e-con-boxed
