In a landmark step toward ecological restoration and sustainable development, the Department of Fisheries, Longding, has launched its first-ever River Ranching Program at the Tewai and Teru Rivers.
In the presence of Hon’ble Minister Shri Gabriel D Wangsu, over 90,000 fingerlings, including species like Rohu, Katla, Mirga, and more, were released into the rivers.
This initiative is designed to:
✅ Revive native fish populations
✅ Enhance biodiversity and protect aquatic ecosystems
✅ Promote sustainable fishing and support local livelihoods

Which other rivers in Arunachal Pradesh could benefit from river ranching?
How can traditional ecological knowledge contribute to the success of such initiatives?
Let's work together to restore and preserve our natural resources!

2. Invasive Species Control:-
Controlling or eradicating invasive fish species:-
Non-native fish species can compete with native fish for resources, prey on native fish,
and hybridize with them, impacting genetic diversity.
Preventing the introduction of new invasive species:-
Strict regulations on the movement of aquatic organisms and educating the public about the
risks of releasing non-native fish can help prevent new invasions.
