Farmers cultivating the fields at the Maitollem in Curtorim village were all in smiles as they harvested moderate fresh water fish from the water body on Sunday.
Farmers descended into the lake waters early Sunday morning with fishing nets to harvest fish such as catla, catfish, kilapi, chicalo, pitol, etc.
Fresh water fish lovers headed to Maitollem near the Carmel Chapel,
Curtorim to lay their hands on the fish.
President of Maitollem farmers Association Shubert D’Costa said the farmers have netted fresh water fish from the water body in moderate quantities.
He thanked the Krishi Vigyan Kendra, South Goa for lending help and assistance by providing fish for breeding.
This is the third fresh water lake harvested by the farmers’ association in the last fortnight.
