Bangladesh is a riverine country, so it has no shortage of fish farmers, and a large part of the economy comes from fish farming. Fish farmers need to know a great deal. Here is what they should do in the month of Jaistha.

• Farmers interested in fish breeding should keep male and female brood fish ready.
• Keep pituitary glands, hapas and injection equipment ready.
• If a nursery pond is at risk of being flooded, raise and strengthen its banks.
• When the fry in the nursery pond reach 1 inch, catch them carefully and arrange to release them into the rearing pond.
• Keep up regular monitoring, remove predatory fish and clear weeds and undergrowth.
• Continue feeding, fertilising and giving supplementary feed in the pond.
• Regularly net the pond to check the fish's health and carry out related tasks.
• For any problem, you can contact the upazila fisheries officer.
