Myanmar’s journey to modern fish farming began right here at the Tha Yat Kong Hatchery, Department of Fisheries. Before this facility, breeding fish involved a more traditional, less efficient method. Breeders simply placed eggs into a lake and hoped for the best. Imagine the challenges! The Tha Yat Kong Hatchery, Department of Fisheries, a collaborative project with the Korean International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), marked a turning point. This pivotal moment happened in 2015 when KOICA and the Myanmar Department of Fisheries joined forces. Their shared goal was ambitious: to establish Myanmar’s first freshwater fish breeding research center. Construction of the Tha Yat Kong Hatchery, Department of Fisheries commenced in August 2016 in Thayet Gone, chosen for its suitability. KOICA invested $4.4 million USD in the project, a testament to its importance. The Tha Yat Kong Hatchery, Department of Fisheries doesn’t just breed fish; it researches farming systems tailored to Myanmar’s environment. This focus on research is essential. It addresses the specific ecological needs of the country. This center plays a crucial role in increasing fish production. Before its establishment, the local fish supply fell drastically short of the demand in Mandalay. The region, with its 7,000-acre lake and over 270 ponds, relied heavily on fish imports from Yangon, exceeding 48.9 tons daily. The Tha Yat Kong Hatchery, Department of Fisheries promises a more sustainable future. It equips local fish farmers with the knowledge and technology to bolster their yields and reduce reliance on imports.
