The Multi-National Coalition - Iraq and its C9 Agriculture section is collaborating with the Iraqi government, and with some assistance from the 304th Civil Affairs Brigade, to repopulate three specific species of fish to the southeastern marshes of Iraq. The species are the Shaboot, Bunny, and Kattan (pronounced: Sha-boot, Buun-nee, and Kat-tan). Holding one of the key species needed for the project, is head fisherman Mr. Falah, as he transfers one of the captured "Shaboot" to the holding tank. One of the few places where these 3 species are found in abundance is in and around the lake complex of the Al Faw palace on Camp Victory, Iraq. The fish are being kept at Al Suwaira in the Wasit province, once the eggs hatch and become fingerlings of about 3 inches or so, they will be transferred to the marshes. The 304th Civil Affairs Brigade is a part of the U.S. Army Civil Affairs and Psychological Operations Command (Airborne), headquartered at Fort Bragg, N.C.
