Bangladesh is a land filled with winding rivers and ponds and had traditionally provided plenty of protein for the diets. However with continual growing population to the point where there is a density of over 1,000 persons per square kilometre. there is a severe shortage to dietary protein. Young children are often seen netting a few small minnows for consumption. The price of fish in the markets is simply unaffordable for the poor of the land.
In this context of severe dietary protein shortage Symbiotic Enterprises an affiliate of Symbiosis has a fish hatchery and fish farm. The hatchery which produced 1.4 million tilapia fingerlings in 2008 stocks the fish farm, sells on the market, and distributes as an extension service among poor pond owners in the Symbiosis working area. The fingerlings are in high demand on the market because of the superior growth due to health and fish type.
This farm located in a Kaliakandi village in the north near the Garo hills of India differs from general intensive fish farms in Bangladesh. Most farms are walled for security reasons, but the Symbiotic fish farm is not. This allows the villagers to observe how it is done and learn and copy advanced techniques.
