Pisci culture

Financed by the Council of the Pastaza Province (department sustainable projects). This project started in March 2007 and is still going on with the assistance of the Council of the Pastaza Province. At presence there are 3000 big reproductive tilapias and many small fishes in 5 fish-ponds. They are mentioned to be for the reproduction by amplifying the project.

Every 6 months there is a qualification to the persons of the project by the visits of the technical engineers of the Council of the Pastaza Province. The qualification is to learn how the people of the Ecological Foundation Tiuti Wally can select the male and female fishes.

In the year 2009 there will be amplified 5 more fish-ponds in the project. The aims of this project is first to improve the daily alimentation of the families of the foundation and after that the rest of the inhabitants of Sarayaku. Half way of the year 2009 they will be able to eat the fishes already. Besides the people of the foundation can sell the big tilapias and the small fishes to the people of the community of Sarayaku to let them reproduce. In this way it will also give the people of the foundation an income.

We are waiting on the reproducing male tilapias to get a good quality of fishes. These male fishes will be amplified at the end of February. There has been some delay for the maintenance of the runway for the sports planes in Sarayaku.
