📋 Tender Overview
With specialized technical support, students developed skills in aquaculture production, from fish care to evaluating their growth and quality.More than 50 third, fourth and fifth high school students from Educational Institution No. 00116 Alto Peru, located in the district of Soritor, province of Moyobamba, successfully carried out their first harvest of gamitana as part of their technical training in aquaculture, consolidating a practical learning experience aimed at productive development.
The initiative began in November 2025 with the transfer of gamitana fry by the Regional Government of San Martin. From this, an articulated work was developed between students, teachers, parents and the educational community, who assumed the commitment to feed and care for this species under a sustainable approach.
The process had the permanent technical support of the professionals of the Amazon Native Species Project of the Regional Production Directorate of San Martin, who guaranteed the proper management of the fish and the constant monitoring of water conditions.
During the harvest day, the schoolchildren actively participated in activities such as trawling, evaluating the size and weight of the fish, as well as verifying the sanitary conditions and water quality. These actions allowed them to strengthen their knowledge in the management of native Amazonian species and strengthen their technical skills.
This first harvest represents a concrete result of sustained work, allowing students to apply the knowledge acquired in the field and recognize aquaculture as a viable productive alternative for their communities.
Likewise, the activity demonstrated the interest and commitment of the students to continue developing initiatives linked to sustainable production, contributing to food security and the strengthening of technical capacities from the school stage.
In this way, the experience not only strengthens the students learning, but also fosters in them a vision of the future linked to sustainable development, projecting them as key actors in the progress of their communities.
