ICAR-CIFRI Leads India's First Breakthrough in Captive Breeding of Channa stewartia

The Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) has announced a breakthrough in captive breeding and larval rearing of Channa stewartia, a species of ornamental fish. The breakthrough was achieved by ICAR-CIFRI, a research institute under the ICAR. The Channa stewartia is a popular species in the ornamental fish trade, and the breakthrough is expected to help meet the demand for this species. The ICAR-CIFRI has developed a method for captive breeding and larval rearing of Channa stewartia, which will help to reduce the dependence on wild-caught fish.
