CTG Brasil releases 800,000 fish in Paraná River

CTG Brasil promotes this month the release of 800 thousand fish of the Dourado, Curimbatá, Pacu-guaçu and Piapara species in the reservoirs of the Jupiá and Ilha Solteira HPPs, operated by the company, in the river Paraná. The action reinforces the company's commitment to the environment and the regions in which it operates, carrying out environmental programs even during the Covid-19 pandemic, in addition to being a way to celebrate World Water Day on March 22nd.

There are eight releases, which started on the 10th and will end on the 26th, at points such as the Sucuriú River, Vila dos Operadores, Thermas de Santa Clara, Paranaíba, Santa Albertina, São José dos Dourados River, among others. The main objective is to promote restocking and guarantee the diversity of fish of native species in the Paraná River. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, only technical releases are being carried out, conducted by professionals from the company's Environment area, without the participation of students or the community.

“Preserving the environment is among our priorities. For this reason, and also recognizing the importance of water as a renewable resource for the whole of society and for the generation of clean energy in our plants, we have promoted several actions focusing on the protection of biodiversity and sustainable development,” explains Rogerio Marchetto, Environment Manager of CTG Brasil.
