To tackle the spread of dengue,the district administration has decided to release "Gambusia" fishlings in water bodies to control the dengue spreading mosquitoes.

Release of the fishlings in water bodies and the stagnant water sources has begun in the presence of Arun Sundar Dayalan, Project director of District Rural Development Agency at Narasingampatti village,a release said here today.

The measure was taken after District Collector, Anshul Mishra ordered the fisheries department to take bio-control measures of releasing the fishlings that feed on the mosquito larvae.

The fisheries department said they would release 20,000 fishlings in water bodies and stagnant water in the locality.

The bio-control of the mosquito, using fish, would be done in Melur, Kottampatti, Tiruparankundram and Usilampatti.

Gambusia feeds mainly on mosquito larva and they can withstand harsh conditions like sewage water. Those interested can also collect the fishlings from the department office at Pechiamman Padithurai, the release said.
