WorldFish-invented ‘G-3’ Rohu grows about 30 per cent more than conventional one

Preliminary results from an experimental farm have shown that the 'third generation' or G-3 Rohu invented by WorldFish grows about 30 per cent more than the conventional Rohu fish - says a press release.

WorldFish supplied G3 Rohu fish to hatcheries and nurseries in 2020 and 2021. WorldFish began growing G-3 Rohu on 19 semi-commercial farms in Rajshahi and Khulna. Fish growth is monitored monthly by sampling.

Some G-3 Rohu hatcheries will produce this improved Rohu fish in 2022. Thousands of farmers can now collect G3 Rohu's Renu / Pona. This will increases productivity and income. This experimental farming and the farmers' experience are likely to encourage more farmers to grow this improved Rohu fish.
