Interventions:
• Project has trained 129,646
farmers (55% women)
• Mola brood was stocked in
46,594 homestead ponds,
together with carp
fingerlings.
• 26,890 farmers were
distributed OSP vines

Benefits of
introducing mola in
polyculture:
• Mola is a bonus crop
that dose not hamper
the carp production
• Mola production
helps to increase the
HH level
micronutrient rich fish
consumption Key achievements:
• Mola was available, on average, in 26% of ponds.
• Average household production of the mola was 9.6kg
• On average, households harvested 28 kg OSPs in a season
• 80% of trained farmers answered correctly about nutritional value and
appropriate pre-cooking processes for mola compared to only 18% of
non-trained farmers.

in highlands of Nepal: A hitherto unexplored bid
Mr. Khop N. Shrestha, Mr. Rahul Ranjan, Mr. Raghu B. Thapa and Mr. Top B. Shahi
(Towards improving food security and nutrition of highland dwellers)
Background:
 Poverty and associated malnutrition,
particularly among children and
women, is rampant in Nepal . Hill and
highland dwellers are suffering a
major brunt from this poverty menace.
Though fish is said to be the cheapest
source of protein, it rarely reaches the
table of highland people. Most of the
ponds (94%) are located in terai of
Nepal where warm climate prevails.
Thus, the production potentials of cold
water aquaculture in highland areas
have always been grossly ignored.
Methods:
 This experiment was conducted in
farmer’s self-built cemented tank (6
m²) at Tatopani village of Jumla
located at 2500 m altitude from the
mean sea level for which 50 common
carp fries were delivered using airline
services from Terai area and were
reared for a period of three years
giving local feeds.
 Semi-artificial breeding method was
applied using ovaprim for inducing
spawning.
Results:
 The breeding was successful
with 5000 hatchlings
produced on 2 May 2017 first
time in the history of Jumla
(perhaps in Nepal as well) at
2500 m altitude.
Conclusion:
 The main obstacle of getting
fish seeds in such remote
area have been resolved and
worth of enterprises have
been proven beyond doubt.
 Now, the time has come up to
expand this successful
initiative to a wider scale to
meet food, nutrition and
income of highland people for
which there must be
immediate financial support
from government and other
donors as well.

A village, Dhulia can be considered as Mola Village for mass
production of mola there, which is located in northwest
Bangladesh. We discovered the area during Small Fish and
Nutrition Project period. I myself Manos Kumar Saha conducted
a qualitative research to explore the mola production system in
details as a part of PhD research.
More than 13 MT mola are producing every year from the village. Using
various PRA tools, mass mola production system of Dhulia beel was
characterized and explored the management practices. Mola production
was 11-33% of total fish production and about 1 MT/ha. Some special
management were found there to enhance the mola production.
Therefore, I am inviting all of you to enjoy the poster on "Mass
mola production in the Nilphamari District of Bangladesh: a case
study of the Dhulia beel".
