This project aims to develop village fish farming at Ambondrolava, south west of Madagascar, with a view to supporting local communities by generating sustainable income. The project concerns a 300-hectare swampy area whose water supply is provided by groundwater, which can be seen along the Toliara - Ifaty road. This activity has already been practiced in this area since 2009. Apart from this, the area's potential has enabled the development of other sectors, notably fishing, planting and sale of reeds or "Vondro" in Malagasy (Typha angustifolia), tourism and agriculture. These include activities that contribute to increasing the income of local communities, while helping to reduce pressure on marine and coastal ecosystems in the area. Fish farming is a source of income for many families and contributes to the region's economic development, but it faces problems that hamper its development. Fish farmers lack the knowledge to manually sex fish or fingerlings (a very important step in the production cycle) and the composition of the feed. Some fish farmer have also a difficulty marketing of their products, i.e. finding buyers.
