Fish farming development is following the poultry industry and is facing similar challenges in its development, the challenges include:
(1) the need to educate farmers,
(2) the need for quality stocks of fish of known origins,
(3) the need for high quality feeds,
(4) the need for record keeping among fish farmers and
(5) the need for quality extension service.

This training will focus on the areas of fish farming and general aquaculture practices as a means to diversify income for the target groups.

Since fish production in natural water is low, effort must be made to encourage fish farming. With good management, intensive farming in warm and fresh water can yield over 3 tons/ha/pear of fish.
