Guaranteeing the flow of<br />
meals and income with<br />
tilapia farming<br />
‘When I return home from work and glance<br />
into the pond, the sight of fish swimming to<br />
and fro, and the sound of water bubbling<br />
from their mouths, fills me with peace and<br />
helps relieve any burdens on my mind. My<br />
emotional wellbeing has improved since I<br />
started raising fish!’<br />
Elisabeth de Araujo has been farming<br />
tilapia in a small pond at her home in Dili<br />
for around 20 years, since Timor-<strong>Leste</strong>’s<br />
independence. The tilapia are not only a<br />
calming presence, but provide meals for her<br />
family and some extra income. Elisabeth<br />
particularly enjoys barbecuing and eating<br />
them together with friends.<br />
Fattening up tilapia in a pond is easy – but in<br />
the past, it was difficult to find the fry (larvae)<br />
or fingerlings (young fish) to get started.<br />
Elisabeth was lucky to get some from a<br />
Javanese friend, who had brought them from<br />
Indonesia. These days, it is easier to find<br />
good-quality tilapia fingerlings in Timor-<strong>Leste</strong>,<br />
and more Timorese are benefitting from<br />
farming these fast-growing, nutritious fish.<br />
In 2016, WorldFish and the Ministry of<br />
Agriculture and Fisheries (MAF), working<br />
together through the Partnership of<br />
Aquaculture Development in Timor-<strong>Leste</strong>,<br />
established a hatchery in Gleno, Ermera<br />
municipality, to breed and supply a<br />
genetically improved farmed tilapia variety<br />
(known as ‘GIFT’). The hatchery has since<br />
