Over 40 journalists took part in the workshop. Speaking at the concluding session, BFRI Director General Dr. MA Majid said fish production can be doubled in Mymensingh if scientific methods are applied and all the water bodies are utilised With this end in view, BFRI is training fish farmers in large numbers every year.
