Aquaculture restoration boosted with live fish donated in C China

So far, 22 aquatic seed production units across China have donated 69,000 kilograms of frys and fingerlings, including carp and loach, which will be transported to the rain and flood-hit area to support the restoration of aquaculture production in 14 severely affected counties and cities in Central China's Henan province, the agriculture ministry said on Tuesday.

Certain areas in Henan have experienced a great loss in aquaculture production facilities and frys and fingerlings due to torrential rainfall in late July, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs said.

The ministry will keep ensuring the restoration of aquaculture production in the disaster-battered areas while the provincial agriculture department is coordinating transportation of the donated frys and fingerlings to put them into production as soon as possible.
