Over 12 million young fish released in Pune reservoir to help restore ecological balance lost due to invasive species
Over 12 million young fish were released in Pune reservoirs to restore ecological balance disrupted by invasive species like Tilapia, African catfish, and Suckermouth catfish. These non-native species had outcompeted native fish, threatening biodiversity. The initiative aims to revive the wetland ecosystem and manage invasive species that have altered the aquatic food chain. This highlights the importance of ecological restoration and invasive species control in environmental management.
