The inserted pictures were taken in a training session conducted at a fish farmer\u2019s village in Gaibandha Sadar Upazila, District \u201cGaibandha\u201d. Most of the course participants are small-scale fish farmers along with some fishermen.<\/p>\n

Cage culture in Bangladesh is practiced in water bodies with proper water current which are not subject to drying-up in dry season. Cage farming practices take place in oxbow lake, baor, haor and bills. In river- Chandpur and Faridpur districts are mentioned.<\/p>\n

The history of cage culture in Bangladesh is a very recent and started from early 80\u2019s only on trial basis. The utilization of the oxbow lakes to its full potential has considered cage culture especially by resource-poor fishing communities.<\/p>\n

Based on earlier findings, cage culture has been promoted through different projects such as the one carried out in Oxbow Lakes which is titled as \u201cSmall Scale Fishermen Project (OLP-II)\u201d which has been implemented in in two baors (Konnadah and Bahadurpur). Moreover, CARE Bangladesh CARE, initiated a project at the end of 1995 until 2000, supported by the Department for International Development (DFID) named Cage Aquaculture for Greater Economic Security (CAGES). The species of fish which have been tried and produced include Asian catfish, Clarias batrachus<\/em>, Thai pangas, Pangasius sutchi, common cap (Cyprinus carpio) and silver barb (Puntius gonionotus).<\/p>\n
