A team of researchers from the National Aquaculture Research and Development Centre (NARDC), under the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock today visited Chingola to assess the suitability of Mimbula and Mushishima dams for fish production and possible restocking.

The assessment, conducted in collaboration with the Chingola Veterinary Department focused on water quality and the general condition of the two dams.

The team collected and tested water samples to determine whether the water meets recommended parameters for fish survival and growth. They also assessed the dams’ physical structures and obtained geographical coordinates to map the water bodies and establish their capacity, including the appropriate number of fish fingerlings they can support.

Once the laboratory results confirm that the water quality meets the required standards, the dams will be considered for restocking with fish fingerlings to promote sustainable fish production.

The Center, based at Mwekera in Kitwe, has conducted the exercise across Copperbelt Province covering Chililabombwe, Ndola, Lufwanyama, Mpongwe, Masaiti, Luanshya and Mufulira districts, with a view to help increase local fish production, improve access to fish for surrounding communities and contribute to food and nutrition security.
