Murshidabad district is the highest jute producer district in West Bengal where maximum numbers of ponds beels, canals and irrigational channels are being used for jute retting from July to September and after retting, water bodies remain uncultured. But few farmer’s, they were culture traditionally with IMC and exotic carps and getting very low yield (3.66q ha-1yr-1). In that condition Murshidabad KVK has designed one OFT trails having three treatments, Farmer’s Practice (FP), Technology Option-I (TO-I) and Technology Option-II (TO-II) on air-breathing fish pangas (Pangasius pangasius) and conducted in farmers’ field for three years. To find out the suitable fish species, observed water parameters (pH, DO mg L-1), stocking density (nos./ha), length (cm), weight (g), survival rate (%), yield (q ha-1yr-1), cost of culture (Rs. ha-1yr-1) gross return (Rs. ha-1yr-1), net return (Rs. ha-1yr-1), BC ratio and disease incidence etc. The effect of water pH and DO (mg L-1) in post jute retting pond and fish stocking pond indicate, there were a statistically significant difference between three treatments at (p <.05). Stocking density in three treatments were 15000 nos. ha-1 (IMC and exotic carps), 11250 nos. ha-1 and 15000 nos. ha-1 (pangas, size 2.5”) . In this trial it was observed that the mean (SD) initial length (cm), initial weight (g) and final length (cm) were not statistically significant at p >.05 but in case of final weight (g) and weight gain (g) there were statistically significant at p<.05. The survival rate (%) was lowest in FP (35.04±4.51) and highest in TO-I (67.55±17.50) and not statistically significant (p >.05). The mean (SD) yield (q ha-1yr-1) was high statistically significant difference found among three treatments (p <001). The average net profits were Rs.65680.0, Rs. 223841.0 and Rs. 337551.0 ha-1 yr-1. in FP, TO-I and TO-II, respectively. The highest mean B:C ratio was 2.44 in TO-II. With the all concerned it was observed TO-II gives the best result among these three treatments in these three years trials.

The study was conducted to determine a suitable feed for the desirable growth ofriverine catfish Rita rita (Hamilton) from January 2006 to December 2006. The experiment hadthree treatments with three replicates. Nine chambers of the raceway each of size 1.83 × 1.12 sqmeter were used. Local prawn, chicken viscera and commercially available formulated feed (CP)were supplied in treatment T1, T2 and T3, respectively at the rate of 7% body weight. Feed wassupplied twice in a day in the early morning and in the evening as the fish is nocturnal. The initialaverage weight of fish was 24.93±0.05g, 24.99±0.04g and 24.95±0.04g in T1, T2 and T3,respectively. The final weight of the fish under three treatments was 425.05±1.04g, 425.68±1.05gand 177.61±1.45g respectively. The initial length was 8.48±0.02, 8.49±0.02 and 8.50±0.01 in T1, T2and T3, respectively. The final length was 25.22±0.06 cm, 25.21±0.14 cm and 14.87±0.13 cm in T1,T2 and T3, respectively. The mean final weight and length was significantly (p<0.05) higher in T1and T2 compared with T3. However, there was no significant difference (p>0.05) between T1 and T2in terms of final weight and length was concerned. Better growth performances, however, wereobserved in T2 and T1, where prawn and chicken viscera were supplied as feed respectively.Lowest growth performance was observed in T3 where formulated feed (CP feed) was supplied.Key Words: Riverine Catfish; Feed; Growth; SGR; Survival.DOI: 10.3329/ujzru.v28i0.5279Univ. j. zool.

The objective of the experiment was to determine the best type of algae for growth, survival rate and the metamorphosis time of white leg shrimp larvae. The experiment consisted of five treatments: dried Spirulina sp. (NT 1), fresh Chaetoceros sp. (NT 2), fresh Thalassiosira sp. (NT 3), Thalassiosira sp. in concentrated form (NT 4) and Thalasiosira sp. in paste form (NT 5). The larvae at Nauplius VI were stocked in 0.5 m3 tank at the stocking density of 200 inds/L. The care regime was applied according to the popular process at the National Breeding Center for Southern Marine Aquaculture. After 10 days of stocking, the water parameters in all treatments were in a suitable range for the growth of larvae. The larvae in NT 4 showed the best body length, survival rate, metamorphosis time and were significant difference compared to the remaining treatments (P < 0.05). Whereas NT 5 was not significantly different (P > 0.05) compared to NT 2 in body length and NT 3 in metamorphosis time. NT 1 showed the worst these characteristics to the other treatments. In general, the use of concentrated Thalassiosira sp. for rearing white leg shrimp larvae gives good results, which should be commonly applied.

This experiment was designed with three experimental treatments namely T1 (natural feed), T2 (feeding with 10% body weight) and T3 (feeding with 5% body weight) for ten weeks. In the content of 33.8% of crude protein (CP), 11.2% of crude fiber (CF), 6% of fat and 10.2% of ash content feed were used as an experimental diet in this experiment. The stocking densities were 280 fish decimal-1 in three treatments where the mean initial weight of fry was 20 ± 0.2 g in all treatments combined and at the end of the experiment the mean final weight was found as 58.9 ± 2.86 g, 134.4 ± 3.62 g and 142.5 ± 4.23 g for T1, T2, and T3 respectively. Mean initial length was 10.2 ± 0.01 cm in three treatments and final length was found as 14.58 ± 1.60 cm, 18.74 ± 1.23 cm and 20.16 ± 2.08 cm in T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The mean weight gains 38.9 ± 1.53 g, 114.4 ± 3.05 g and 122.5 ± 1.5 g, mean length gain 4.38 ± 0.24 cm, 8.54 ± 0.65 cm and 9.96 ± 0.59 cm, mean SGR 1.76%, 3.5% and 3.82% were recorded in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The highest weight gain, length gain and SGR were found in T3 and the lowest was found in T1. The survival rate was 82%, 88% and 94% in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. FCR values were found as 3.49 ± 0.5 and 2.51 ± 0.4 in T2 and T3. The result demonstrated that feeding with 5% body weight had a better effect on the growth and survival rate of monosex (male) O. niloticus.

Attempt has been taken to develop intensive tank culture technique providing natural environment for Stinging catfish (Heteropneustes fossilis) inside tank to increase survival rate as well as production. The experiment was conducted for a period of 150 days in two tanks (T1 and T2) of 300 m2. Fish fries with a mean weight and length ranged from 1.02 to 2.2 g and 2.7 to 3.5 cm were stocked in T1 and T2, respectively. Stocking density of fingerlings were 1, 25,000 and 1, 50,000 per Ha in T1 and T2, respectively. Commercial pelleted feed was supplied to tank reared fish twice daily at a rate of 3-10% of body weight per day and later feeding rate was adjusted based on body weight by sampling. Important water quality parameters (temperature, DO, pH, transparency, ammonia and nitrate) were recorded weekly throughout the culture period. Survival rate was 87% and 84% in T1 and T2, respectively. Mean final weight were 41.73 ± 2.09g and 40.6 ± 0.90 g in T1 and T2, respectively. Length-weight relationship indicates that the growth rate was always higher in T1 followed by T2. Results showed that net yield was relatively higher in T2 (5115.35 ± 113.13 Kg/ha) than T1 (4537.12 ± 227.4 Kg/ha). In case of production, there was significant difference (p < 0.05) between two treatments. This experiment demonstrated the potential of H. fossilis production through new technique of tank culture system. However, more research is needed using local feed ingredients with higher stocking density. Bangladesh J. Zool. 47(1): 107-119, 2019

The effect of stocking density on growth performance and survival rate of endangered Labeo bata, was conducted in nursery ponds from 14th June to 13th August, 2013. Three different stocking densities viz. 500, 600 and 700 piece-1 decimal were assigned as treatment T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The initial average weight of L. bata was 0.15±008 g. Hatchlings in all the nursery ponds were fed indigenous feed (26.95% crude protein) for 8 weeks. Temperature, ammonia nitrogen, pH had no significant differences (P<0.05). Final weight (g) was found to be the highest (4.06±0.06) in T1 and the lowest (3.20±0.03) in T3. The mean values of weight gain (g) was the highest (3.91±0.06) in T1 and the lowest (3.05±0.03) in T3. SGR was highest (5.49±0.02) in T1 and lowest (5.09±0.02) in T3. Yet again, survival rate was highest (70.33±0.88) in T1 where stocking density was the lowest among those aforementioned three treatments and lowest (61.00±0.58) in T3 where the stocking density was the highest among the treatments. And finally production (kg-1ha) was found highest (352.66±4.42) in T1 and lowest (337.50±3.19) in T3. Rearing of the Labeo bata fry in those three different stocking densities showed significant (p<0.05) variation both in highest survival and growth performance. Overall production of L. bata in treatment T1 was significantly higher than that of the other two treatments T2 and T3. Despite of this, consistently higher CBR was found from treatments T1 (1:1.78) than from treatment T2 (1:1.25) and T3 (1:1.06).J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 9(1): 67-73 2016

Dietary protein and energy requirements of juvenile freshwater angelfish (Pterophyllum scalare) were evaluated. A 3 × 2 factorial design was used, with three dietary crude protein levels being tested (26, 30, and 34% of CP) combined with two digestible energy levels (3,100 and 3,300 kcal DE/kg of diet) in three replicates. Juveniles averaging 2.33 ± 0.26 g were reared in a 25L-aquarium with controlled temperature (26 ± 1ºC), biological filter and stocking density of six fish/aquarium. Fish were fed ad libitum at 09:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. The following performance parameters were evaluated: final weight, final length, weight gain, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, specific growth rate, protein efficiency ratio and condition factor. Fish fed diets with 26% CP showed greater protein efficiency values when compared to those fed diets with 34% CP. Diets with 26% of CP and 3100 kcal DE/kg could meet the nutritional requirements of juvenile freshwater angelfish.

The present study evaluated the effects of stocking density on water quality parameters, growth performance and survival rate of white leg shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei, reared in fiberglass tanks, without water exchange. Three stocking densities (50, 100 and 200 shrimp/m2) were tested. Each treatment consisted of three replicates fiberglass tanks (500 L). The shrimp were fed ad libitum four times per day with a commercial pellet (40-42% protein). After an 8-week trial, concentrations of nutrients in the culture tanks showed an increasing linear relationship with increasing stocking density. The growth performance of shrimp in low stocking densities was significantly greater than that in high stocking densities. The results from this study demonstrate that with increasing the stocking density the production of shrimp increased but in a low final weight and survival compared to low stocking density.

Background: Total ankle replacement (TAR) is gaining popularity as a treatment option for ankle osteoarthritis. Long-term implant survival is a critical outcome to determine the success of the TAR implant. The Buechel-Pappas (BP) implant is a second-generation mobile bearing implant. The aim of this study was to analyze the BP implant survivorship at 10-year follow-up, make a subanalysis between patient groups, and evaluate long-term functional outcomes. Methods: Data of 86 patients who received 101 BP implants between 1993 and 2010 were obtained from a prospectively documented database. Subanalyses were done for patients diagnosed with inflammatory joint disease and noninflammatory joint disease, and patients with preoperative tibiotalar neutral and nonneutral alignment. A Kaplan-Meier curve was used for survival analysis. Long-term functional outcomes were assessed with the following patient-reported outcome measures: Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS), Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM), Short Form-36 (SF-36) Stand Version 2.0 Health Survey and 3 anchor questions. Results: The survival rate of the BP implant at 10 years was 86% (95% confidence interval, 78%-93%). A total of 31 patients (36%) required 55 reoperations, and in 13 patients (15%) a revision procedure was performed. In this series, no significant difference in 10-year survival rate was found between neither the inflammatory joint disease and noninflammatory joint disease group ( P = .47), nor the tibiotalar neutral and nonneutral alignment group ( P = .16). At a mean follow-up of 16.8 years for 21 patients, the mean FAOS activities of daily living (ADL) and FAAM ADL subscale scores were 75/100 and 56/100 points. The mean physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS) of the SF-36 were 34/100 and 51/100 points, respectively. Conclusion: A survival rate of 86% was found at 10-year follow-up for the Buechel-Pappas implant. Our series demonstrated no significant difference in 10-year survival rates between the 2 patient subgroups. Long-term results of the various functional outcomes varied between poor and moderate. Level of Evidence: Level II, prospective cohort study.

Surgical decompression to alleviate raised intracranial pressure has been reported repeatedly in the past decades in small series of patients. Only recently have there been indications from larger trials that surgical decompression may be beneficial in treating space-occupying hemispheric infarction. However, surgical requirements for the procedure to be effective have not yet been defined. Based on theoretical criteria, the authors operated on 43 patients with medically uncontrollable hemispheric infarctions. The craniectomies were planned to be as large as possible and performed in combination with a subtemporal decompression. Postoperative computerized tomography scans were evaluated for these criteria. The mean survival rate for the group of 43 patients was 72.1% and no surviving patient ended up in a vegetative state. The mean area of craniectomy was found to be 84.3 ± 16.5 cm2 and the mean distance of the inferior craniectomy margin to the middle fossa was 1.8 ± 1.3 cm. Comparison of survivors and nonsurvivors failed to show a significant difference in the size of craniectomy or the distance to the floor of the middle fossa. Compared with the reported 80% fatality rate for medically treated stroke patients, in this subgroup the outcome (72.1% survival rate) is remarkably good. The authors conclude that decompressive craniectomy is an effective treatment, able to reduce mortality, and to improve neurological outcome in patients with space-occupying cerebral infarction if the size of craniectomy is large enough. Nevertheless, there is a need for further investigation to identify patients who will benefit from surgery and predictors to optimize the timing of surgical intervention.
