Potentials and prospects of pond fish farming in improving aquaculture system in Kaliakair upazila under Gazipur district, Bangladesh were investigated. Data were collected from 60 selected fish farmers through questionnaire survey and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) during June to November, 2014. The research revealed that a highest number of pond fish farmers (61.67%) were out of training facilities and a good portion (23.33%) had no education. Pond water was found turbid seasonally (71.66%) and farmers did not exchange water during culture periods (66.67%). As a result water quality deteriorates day by day and depletion of oxygen occurs during pond farming. The average stocking density of fish was higher in the study area and the highest was found in monoculture of Climbing perch (Anabas testudineus ) (1200 individual/decimal) and lowest in carp polyculture system (195 individual/decimal). Fish production was higher in Pangus monoculture system (17.89 MT/ha/yr) and lower in Climbing perch monoculture system (10.78 MT/ha/yr), but profit was higher in Climbing perch monoculture produced 1318100 Tk./ha/yr and lower in Tilapia monoculture 397886 Tk./ha/yr. Benefit Cost Ratio was higher in Climbing perch (2.32) and lower in Pangus culture (1.34). The problems faced by the fish farmers were broadly categorized as financial, natural, technical and social. Therefore, necessary training facilities with institutional and organizational supports, credit facilities, extension services and awareness development are essential to improve aquaculture system as well as the fishers’ livelihoods in Kaliakair upazila of Gazipur district.Res.

An experiment was carried out to find the salinity tolerance capability and growth performance of Climbing Perch, Anabas testudineus (Bloch, 1795). Anabas testudineus commonly cultured fish in Bangladesh was reared in laboratory conditions at different salinities of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 and 21‰ for 60 days. Hundred per cent survivals were detected at 0, 3, 6 and 9‰ salinity while 100% mortality was recorded at 18 and 21‰ salinity. Various responses to threat and feeding were observed among the fish in different treatments. Lowest feed conversion ratio was found in the control group while the highest was detected at 15‰ salinity. On the other hand, decreasing trend of specific growth and average growth rate were observed in A. testudineus fingerlings from 0 to 15‰ salinity. Significantly higher specific growth rate and average growth rate were detected in A. testudineus fingerlings reared at 0 - 6‰ salinity (p < 0.05). The present study suggests that Climbing Perch fingerlings can be reared at fresh water growth rates in coastal water with salinity up to 6‰.Dhaka Univ. J. Biol. Sci. 25(1): 65-73, 2016

Climbing perch is one of economically-valued local fish in Indonesia, particularly in Borneo, Sumatra, and Java Islands. The fish has the potential to be developed as freshwater aquaculture species. The purpose of this experiment was to evaluate the production performance and blood profile of climbing perch cultured in peat pond with different stocking densities. The research was conducted in Kereng Bangkiray Village, Sebangau District, Palangkaraya City, Central of Borneo. Nine fish ponds sized 5.0 m x 5.0 m x 1.5 m were used. Nets with a mesh size of 1 cm measuring 2.0 m x 1.5 m x 1.0 m was installed in each fish pond for the experiment. The treatment consisted of different stocking densities, namely 15 fish/m2, 30 fish/m2, and 45 fish/m2. Fish with the body weight of 20 ± 1.25 g were used. Fish were cultured for four months. An artificial diet containing 30% protein was given with a feeding rate of 5%. The experiment was designed in a complete randomized design. The result showed that the production performances (i.e. survival, specific growth rate, absolute weight, and biomass) were significantly higher at the densities of 15 and 30 fish/m2 than that of 45 fish/m2 (P<0.05). Blood profile such as glucose, erythrocyte, leucocyte, and hemoglobin were higher at the density of 45 fish/m2 except for hematocrit which was higher at the densities of 30 and 15 fish/m2. Water quality parameters such as dissolved oxygen, nitrite, nitrate, and ammonia at the densities of 15 and 30 fish/m2 showed better values than that of 45 fish/m2 stocking density. To optimize the productivity and maintain the optimum water quality condition, the optimal stocking density for climbing perch culture is suggested at 30 fish/m2.

Ansyari F, Slamat S. 2020. Comparison of the performance of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus Bloch) filial 2 fry and natural fry treated in acidic swamp waters, Jejangkit Village, South Kalimantan. Jurnal Lahan Suboptimal: Journal of Suboptimal Lands 9(1): 23-30.The aim of the study was to compare the performance (survival rate, growth and feed conversion) of climbing perch fish fry Filial 2 (F2) which has superior characteristics with natural fry that are culture in sour swamp waters. The study was carried out in swamp waters, Jejangkit Village, Barito Kuala Regency, South Kalimantan for 6 months (January to June 2019). This study compared fish performances generated from F2 fry of nature. Fishes were cultured in net (4 m x 2 m x 1 m) with the same stocking density of 100 fishes/m2 . The results showed that the survival rate of natural fry was 86.6% higher than that of F2 75.3%, but the relative growth of natural fry was 2,325% lower than  F2 3,060% and feed conversion natural fry was 3.03 less efficient than F2 fry 2.62. It was concluded that the performance of F2 fry was better than natural fry, when maintained in acidic swamp waters.

Abstract Broodfish conditioning of climbing perch (Anabas testudineus) is conducted in earthen ponds with a density of 2-4 kg m-2, at a 1:1 male to female ratio. Homemade or commercial feeds containing 22-25% crude protein are given as feed for the broodfish. To induce spawning, HCG and LH-RHa are used. Nursing from fry to fingerlings is done in earthen ponds with densities of 500-600 fry m-2. After nursing for 50-60 days, when the fish reach 4-5 cm length, they are harvested and stocked in grow-out systems. Fingerlings are stocked in grow-out ponds at a density of 20 fish m-2. Homemade and commercial feeds containing 22-25% crude protein are used to feed fish. After 6 months, the fish can reach the marketable size of 60-100 g per fish. The stocking density of fish in rice fields is lower, at 3 m-2. They feed on natural food found in the rice field. Homemade feeds are also added as supplementary feed. Rice-fish culture covers two continuous paddy rice cropping periods, or one paddy rice crop and one flooded crop.
