YEZIN fishery  camp  in  Zeyathiri  Township  of  Nay  Pyi  Taw  Council  Area operates fish farming and distribution of fingerlings.

The fishery camp is formed with  the  pedigree  fish  farm,  nursery ponds and water tanks for the development of fish resources in the area.

The  fishery  camp  under  the Nay Pyi Taw Fisheries Department has a plan to release fingerlings  into  natural  water  areas  in  Nay  Pyi  Taw  Council  Area so as to realize the Good Aquaculture Practice-GAqP.

For  the  time  being,  the  camp  is  engaging  in  the  preservation  of  pedigree  fish  species, hatching of fingerlings and distribution of fingerlings using 12 farms for pedigree fish species, 40 nursery ponds and two water tanks.

In  the  2020-21  financial  year, the Nay Pyi Taw Fisheries Department adopted a plan to distribute  4  million  of  fingerlings to the local fish farmers in the Nay Pyi Taw Council Area thanks  to  efforts  of  the  Yezin  fishery  camp  while  releasing  fingerlings into dams and reservoirs, rivers, creeks and lakes.

In  order  to  develop  the  fishery industry, fishery camps need  to  extend  the  breeding  of marketable fish species and choose the fingerlings with the resilience of climatic conditions. Moreover, fish farmers should take care of preventing infection of diseases that happen at fish.

Moreover, fish farms should systematically extend their work processes and the breeding of fish for local consumption and distribution of pet fish on a commercial scale to  increase  income for the fishery sector.

Yezin fishery camp on the duty of fish farming and distribution  of  fingerlings  needs  to  emphasize the development of fish resources in Nay Pyi Taw Council  Area  contributing  to  the food sufficiency of local people.
