This study was conducted on the 13 hatcheries of Rajshahi district from March to December 2013 to know about the fry production status, induced breeding practices and cost-profit status. Average fry production of Labeo rohita, 93.38±83.32 kg, Catla catla, 62.00±60.84 kg, Cirrhinus cirrhosus, 77.46±58.61 kg, L. calbasu, 14.20±14.60 kg, L. bata, 53.73±50.56 kg, L. gonia, 10.00±0 kg, Heteropneustes fossilis, 5.00±0 kg, Clarias batrachus, 20.00±0 kg, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, 149.77±138.45 kg, Aristichthys nobilis, 104.54±148.11 kg, Ctenopharyngodon idella, 19.20±15.35 kg, Cyprinus carpio 108.08±77.39 kg and Barbonymus gonionotus, 23.10±14.04 kg were recorded in the surveyed hatcheries. Two types of hormone injections PG (pituitary gland) and HCG (Human chorionic gonadotropin) were used for induced breeding. The rate of 1st dose of injection of PG varied from 1 to 2 mg/kg and HCG from 100-150 IU/kg and the rate of 2nd dose of injection of PG varied between 5 and 8 mg/kg. The incubation period and hatching rate in different fish species varied from 10 to 72 hours and 55% to 80%, respectively. The average total cost, gross return and net profit of the hatcheries were 0.667±0.798, 1.152±1.636 and 0.485±0.846 million BDT respectively.

This study was conducted on the management of the Baluhar Baor and fishermen’s socio-economic conditions of the Baor in Jhenaidah district, Bangladesh. Data were collected by interviews, FGDs and CIs with key informants. This Baor was managed under Oxbow Lake Project-1 of Department of Fisheries of Bangladesh government. Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhina cirrhosus, Cyprinus carpio and Ctenopharyngodon idella were commonly stocked at the composition of 34%, 13%, 12%, 12%, 15% and 14%, respectively. Kochal, Komor and Chack fishing were used for harvesting and yearly production was 750 kg/ha. While studying the socio-economics, 58% fishermen were lived in joint families. 78% fishermen used Kancha sanitary latrine which reflects their poor hygienic condition but they used tubewell for drinking water. 58% fishermen were with 0.045 hectare lands and 74% lived in Kancha house. The annual income varied from BDT 15,000 to 60,000. Education level was found very low and only 18% completed their primary education. Majority fishermen (82%) visited village doctor for health services due to low income and lack of knowledge. All fishermen were fully dependent on Baor fishery for their livelihood. It is possible to uplift their socio-economic by managing the Baor with improved technology.

Abstract A polyculture system was developed that was affordable to poor owners of seasonal ponds with a mean annual culture period of 200 days and situated on low quality soil types. Three main species were used silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), silver barb (Barbonymus gonionotus) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio). Stocked in smaller numbers wererohu (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla), mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosus)and grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella). Pond preparation and management were dependent on the use of lime, cow manure, triple superphosphate (TSP) and urea. Duckweed, green vegetables and rice bran were the principle supplementary feeds. This system raised production levels from 740 kg ha-1 to 2195 kg ha-1 with a cost:benefit ratio of 1:3.8.

Abstract Six fish speciesCirrhinus mrigala (Morakhi), Labeo rohita (Danbhro), Catla catla (Thalli), Wallago attu (Jarko), Ctenopharyngodon idella (Grass), and Cyprimus carpio (Gulfam)commonly found in the Pakistani Indus river, were selected for fat and cholesterol evaluation. Fat content was quantified by the Folch method and cholesterol content was determined by a simple GC method. The application of the proposed method to quantify cholesterol content revealed variations among the six breeds evaluated. The breeds studied contained 0.801.95 fat, indicating that all investigated fishes were lean; significant variation was found in cholesterol content, and ranged between 72 and 392 mg/100 g. Standard addition analyses showed that the method was accurate, as the recovery of cholesterol varied from 95 to 103, with a coefficient of variance not more than 5.6. The results showed that, after the development of suitable calibration, within 11 min, the cholesterol could be accurately determined by GC.

The research work was conducted to find out the seasonal prevalence and intensity of infestation of the ectoparasites of carps in some ponds of Mymensingh and Bogra districts of Bangladesh. Seven species of parasites viz. Trichodina domerguei, Trichodina reticulata, Chilodonella cyprini, Myxobohts koi, Dactylogiroides tripathi, D. extenswi and D. catlarius were found from 640 fry-fingerlings of silver carp, Hypophthalmicthys mohtrix (Valenciennes), grass carp, Ctenopharyngodon idella (Valenciennes), European carp, Cyprinns carpio (Linnaeus), small carp, Puntius gonionotus (Bleeker), katla, Catla catla (Hamilton), rui, Labeo rohita (Hamilton-Buchanan) and mrigal, Cirrhina mrigala (Hamilton- Buchanan) from different nurseries and rearing ponds of Mymensingh and Bogra districts of Bangladesh during June, 2004 to October, 2005. The overall percentage of infestations in two study areas was the highest (95%) in winter, moderate (48%) in summer and the lowest (34.8%) in the rainy season. The physicochemical parameters of water exerted more or less significant combined effect on the occurrence of parasites. Key words: Ectoparasites infestation, Carps, seasonal prevalence, Physicochemical parameters.   DOI = 10.3329/bjsir.v43i3.1158Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res. 43(3), 411-418, 2008

Aquaculture is a rapidly growing fisheries sector in India with an annual growth rate of over 7%. Freshwater aquaculture contributes over 95% of the total annual aquaculture production of 5.77 million t. Technologies of induced carp breeding and polyculture of the three Indian major carps (Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala) as well as ‘composite carp culture’ with the addition of three exotic carps (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Ctenopharyngodon idella and Cyprinus carpio) in ponds and tanks brought about perceptible upward shift in freshwater aquaculture production. Of late, the sector has been witnessing diversification with the inclusion of medium and minor carps, catfishes and murrels. Andhra Pradesh and West Bengal are the top producers of freshwater fish through aquaculture. System diversification has resulted in optimum productivity of 3-6 t ha-1 yr-1. Public and private carp hatcheries produce around 40 billion fry. Fish requirement by 2020 is expected to touch 15 million t, of which around 9 million t would need to come from freshwater aquaculture. Input-related, social and environmental constraints of aquaculture in India need to be tackled through horizontal and vertical expansion, technology as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation, for sustainable development.

An experiment was carried out to evaluate the growth performance of carp polyculture system supplemented with different levels of supplementary feed. To undertake this investigation, two earthen ponds were stocked with 25% Labeo rohita, 25% Catla catla, 20% Labeo calbasu, 20% Ctenopharyngodon idella and 10% Hypopthalmichthys molitrix with a total stocking density of 10000/ha. The net fish production was found to be 2,166 and 3,874 kg/ha/yr in pond-01 and pond-02, respectively. The total cost of fish farming of pond-01 and pond-02 were 64,268 BDT and 88,568 BDT per ha. The total return of pond-01and pond-02 were BDT 1,04,280 BDT and 1,69,250 BDT per ha. Net benefit from pond-01 and pond-02 was 40,312 BDT and 80,682 BDT respectively. Net profit margin of pond-01 and pond-02 was 62.73% and 91.10%. And finally the benefit cost ratios (CBR) were found to be 0.62:1 and 0.91:1 in pond-01 and pond-02, respectively. Asiat. Soc.
