NAIROBI， Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- Fisheries sector in Kenya is attracting more accommodating innovations as the government seeks to tackle over-dependence on lakes and ocean waters. One of them is the solar powered pond pump.


Farm Africa， an international organization working with rural Africa， is popularizing this new way of rearing fish in Kenya， promoting the government's effort to reducing poverty through inland fish farming.


The pump which can be used by both small and large scale farmers， utilizes solar power to pump water into and out of the pond， explained Solomon Otieno， the organization's marketing officer on Monday.


"Farmers can use the water from the pond which is rich in nutrients to irrigate farms and be able to increase their yields，" he told Xinhua.


Otieno said adoption of the innovation draws attention away from fishing in the lakes presently overexploited.


"We are popularizing this solar pump for the ponds in 16 counties spread across the country as we seek to encourage many farmers to rear fish in the ponds，" he said.


In the past three years， the government through the Ministry of Agriculture， Fisheries and Livestock has been aggressive in its campaigns against over-dependence on lakes and Indian Ocean for fish.


It is encouraging farmers to establish ponds within their farms as also a way of increasing food security in the country， boosting nutrition in homes and eliminating poverty from households.


Fisheries and aquaculture sector is yet to be among major contributors to the Kenya's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as it currently averages at a mere 0.54 percent， according to 2013 Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) data.


Otieno said it is not enough to train farmers on adoption of fishing technology if they are unaware of how to market the fish.


"You can't just train farmers and leave them to think about the way forward. You need to help them connect to the market，" he said.


"That is why we work with all stakeholders along the value chain like those who produce fingerlings， offer input and market."


He said it is very important for the farmers to have an insight of the market prior to embarking on any farming venture to avoid losses.


He says innovations play a role in enhancing farmers' agricultural activities. "Some of these new technologies coming up help the farmers to commercialize well their farming and be able to succeed in agribusiness，" he said.


Recent report by FAO on state of global fisheries sector indicates an increase in consumption of fish but raises concern on overfishing in fresh and marine waters.


The 2016 State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture report states that global per capita fish consumption has risen to above 20 kilograms a year.


However， the fish capture situation is worrying. FAO says in the report that almost a third of commercial fish stocks are now fished at biologically unsustainable levels， triple the level of 1974.


Kenya now has a fresh law on management on fisheries sector whose long-term objective is to improve lives of Kenyans， especially those who directly depend on fish farming for survival.


The Fisheries Management and Development Act (2016) has stipulated guidelines on conservation， management and development of fisheries and other aquatic resources in the country， regulations intended to encourage sustainable fishing practices. Enditem


RIO DE JANEIRO Chidobe Awuzie Jersey , April 19 (Xinhua) -- Usain Bolt won his first 100m race of the season on Sunday by taking out the Mano a Mano sprint challenge in Rio de Janeiro.


But the 28-year-old was unhappy with his time of 10.12 seconds at the Brazilian Jockey Club.


"I think it was poor execution overall Taco Charlton Jersey ," Bolt said. "I am sure my coach isn't going to be too happy. The good thing is that I won."


American Ryan Bailey finished second while Brazilian Jose Carlos Moreira was third in 10.51 seconds.


Before the race Bolt said his aim was to eclipse the 10-second mark. But a lack of recent competitive racing and a wet track counted against the Jamaican.


"Overall I didn't feel myself Connor Williams Jersey , but I think it is just lack of races Leighton Vander Esch Jersey ," he said. "It will take time for me to get back to my best so I just need to run more and I'll be OK."


"This is always my first race of the season so it is not going to be as fast as everyone wants it to be."


The race is likely to be Bolt's last competitive event in Rio before next year's Olympic Games Sean Lee Jersey , where he will aim to add to his six gold medals won in Beijing (2008) and London (2012).


His next competition will be the World Relays in the Bahamas early next month.


Meanwhile Veronica Campbell-Brown made it a Jamaican clean sweep by winning the women's challenge in 11.04 seconds.


The dual Olympic gold medallist finished ahead of Carmelita Jeter of the US (11.19 seconds) and Jamaican Kerron Stewart (11.30 seconds).
