In a country where most fish farmers do not understand fish culture very well. and very few have some knowledge, I do not think hydroponics will be the most feasible development for fish farmers. So if any development agency or fisheries professional wants to develop hydroponics it will not be the best option to develop fisheries in Nepal, but it could be a good business for the ones who want to develop farmers. Why is it that some development agencies are jumping development stages? But people are right if they see a great development potential in aquaculture in Nepal.
