The Department of Fisheries & Aquatic Resources, Nagaland on 8th July 2022 released fingerlings in Doyang Reservoir, Wokha. District Fishery Officer of Wokha, Rulanthung Ezung said with the initiative of Director F&AR, Rongsennungba about four lakh fingerlings consisting of fish species Rohu, Mrigal, Silver Carp, Grass carp, and Common Carp were stocked in the reservoir under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme PMMSY.

Stocking of fingerlings is the mainstay of reservoir fisheries development which will facilitate fish production on a sustainable basis. The DFO Wokha also stated as Doyang Reservoir falls under the medium reservoir where auto stocking is not possible and requires a regular stocking programme to use the productive potential of the water body.

The programme was chaired by Mhonthung, Fishery Inspector, while the vote of thanks was given by Chumthungo Ovung, Fishery Inspector.
