To observe the effectiveness of short time in-pond nursery of post larvae (PL) on the survival rate and production of shrimp (Penaeus monodon) under modified improved culture system, an experiment was conducted in earthen ponds at Brackishwater Station of Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, Khulna. Results of the experiment revealed that short time in-pond nursery of PL provided the significantly higher (p<0.05) survival rate (58%) than direct stocking of PL (47.81%) in the rearing pond. In-pond nursery of PL provided 9.95% better survival rate than direct stocking. The production of shrimp was 661 kg/ha under in-pond nursery of PL and it was 534 kg/ha under direct stocking of PL in rearing ponds. The production of shrimp was also significantly higher (p<0.05) under in-pond nursery system than direct stocking of PL in rearing ponds. Final weight gain and Food Conversion Ratio (FCR) values were similar in both the treatments. Water quality parameters in both stocking systems were insignificant and it was within the range of shrimp culture. In this study, the increment in production under in-pond nursery system was mainly due to the increase of survival rate in the respective treatment was ascertained.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v19i2.16958 Progress.

<p>Most fish farmers in Malawi culture unimproved fish strains whose growth is slow and mature while still small. Four strains of <em>Oreochromis</em>, namely; selectively-bred/improved <em>O. shiranus</em> (F<sub>8</sub>), two reciprocal F<sub>1</sub> <em>Oreochromis</em> hybrids, and <em>O. karongae</em> as a control (mean weight 2.5 ± 0.7 g) were stocked at a density of 5fish/m<sup>2 </sup>in 9m<sup>2 </sup>hapas replicated three times, and cultured for 90 days at Bunda Fish Farm. Fish were fed twice a day with feed formulated using maize bran and soybean containing 30% crude protein throughout the experimental period. The final mean weights were significantly different (p&lt;0.05) across the treatments whereby; hybrid <em>O. shiranus</em> (male) X <em>O. karongae</em> (female) was 12.09g, hybrid <em>O. shiranus</em> (female) X <em>O. karongae</em> (male) was 9.72g, improved <em>O. shiranus</em> (F<sub>8</sub>) registered 9.23g, and <em>O. karongae</em> was the least with 9.00g. Apparent food conversion ratio was also statistically different (p&lt;0.05) across the treatments whereby; <em>O. karongae</em> was 3.63, hybrid <em>O. shiranus</em> (female) X <em>O. karongae</em> (male) was 3.25, improved <em>O. shiranus</em> (F<sub>8</sub>) was 3.16 and hybrid <em>O. shiranus</em> (male) X <em>O. karongae</em> (female) was lowest with 2.26. There were no significant differences on the water quality parameters across the treatments throughout the experimental period and were within the required ranges for growth and survival of tilapias fish species. The results suggest that <em>Oreochromis</em> hybrids may be suitable candidates for aquaculture in terms of production as they performed better than the improved <em>O. shiranus</em> and the control <em>O. karongae</em>.</p>

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.

To assess the effect of probiotics on growth, survival rate and production performance of all monosex tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) for a period of 120 days in 2016 in nylon net cages placed in Dekar haor of Sunamganj district. The study was categorized into four treatments as T1 (brand a), T2 (brand b), T3 (brand c) and T4 (control) based on probiotics and each having three replicates. Cages were stocked with nursed male tilapia fry at a density of 35 nos./m3 with average size of 14.33 ± 6.41 - 16.33 ± 3.15 g. Tilapia of all the cages were fed with commercial mega floating feed at a decreasing rate of 10 - 5% of total biomass thrice daily. Feed was supplemented with probiotics at a rate of 0.5 g/kg. Comparatively higher growth (307.33 ± 33.92 g), survival rate (97.6 ± 4.90%), yield (10.5 ± 1.15 kg/m3), net profit (Tk.798.96 ± 90.85/m3) and lower food conversion ratio (1.16) were secured in T3 than that of other treatments, which were manifolds higher than the earthen freshwater and brackish waterbodies. Therefore, results of the study reveal that probiotics may be used in aquaculture for increasing fish production. Asiat. Soc. Bangladesh, Sci. 44(1): 69-78, June 2018

ABSTRACTThirty male pigs weaned at 5·5 kg were used to determine the effect of diets with 164, 192 and 219 g/kg crude protein offered ad libitum to 20 kg live weight on performance and carcass characteristics during this initial phase of growth and during the period subsequent to 20 kg live weight when all pigs were fed on a diet with 181 g/kg crude protein in restrictive amounts. Between 5·5 and 20 kg live weight, pigs offered the diet with 164 g/kg crude protein grew significantly more slowly and had a significantly poorer food conversion ratio than pigs offered the two higher protein diets. Both linear fat measurement and the proportion of ether extractable material in the carcass at 20 kg live weight decreased significantly with each increase in dietary protein. Pigs offered the 164 g/kg protein diet during the initial treatment period tended to grow faster subsequent to 20 kg and during the live-weight period 20 to 45 kg had a significantly lower food conversion ratio than pigs previously offered the two higher protein diets. Over the entire production period, 5·5 to 70 kg, there were no significant differences between treatments. Likewise there were no significant differences in carcass quality parameters between treatments at 70 kg live weight.

With the target of increasing the shrimp (Penaeus monodon) production through farm development and improved grow out management, an experiment was conducted with three different stocking densities viz. 5/m2 (T1), 7/m2 (T2) and 9/m2 (T3). Results of the experiment revealed that, among the water quality parameters, values of dissolved oxygen and transparency were lower in the higher stocking densities with significant difference (p<0.05) among the treatments. Other water quality parameters were similar in all the treatments. Bacterial load in bottom sediment had the trend to increase with increasing culture period and showed significant difference (p<0.05) among the treatments with the highest in the higher stocking density. Soil pH in the end sample reduced a little bit in all the treatments than the initial. Deposition of organic matter, phosphorus and nitrogen was related to the respective stocking densities. Final weight gain and survival rate of shrimp were significantly (p<0.05) higher in T1 than in T2 and T3. Stocking density of 5/m2 showed the highest production of 759.14±19.002 kg/ha, which was significantly (P<0.05) higher than that of 670.77±16.078 kg/ha obtained in T2, but similar to 701.24±33.507 kg/ha obtained in T3. The net economic return and BCR was also significantly higher (p<0.05) in the same stocking density (5/m2) compared to others. Whereas, FCR value was significantly lower (p<0.05) in T1 than the other two treatments. However, pond ecological conditions were more congenial for shrimp culture in lower stocking density (5/m2), which minimized the risk of disease outbreak in the respective stocking density, keeping the culture environment favorable.

Blue shrimp disease is one of the main problems in tiger shrimp culture. It reduces shrimp quality which eventually will decrease its market price. Blue shrimp is caused by deficiency of nutrition and additive materials such as carotene and other nutrient which function as vitamin source for important metabolic processes and formation of color profile in shrimp and fish. The aims of this study were to study the application effect of carotenoid extract of sponge Callyspongia basilana, as an additive material on the ability of shrimp to get back to normal state after suffering blue shrimp disease and survival rate of shrimp and to find out the optimal concentration of sponge carotenoid extract to cure the diseased shrimp. This study was consisted of two steps namely; (1). Extraction of sponge carotenoid by maseration and fractionation using acetone and petroleum ether solvents and (2), the application of carotenoid extract on the diseased shrimp. The research was arranged in a complete randomized design with four experiments consisted of (A). Control (without carotenoid extract); (B),(C), and (D) carotetoid extract addition of 3 mg/L, 6 mg/L, and 9 mg/L respectively with three replication each. The test animal used were blue diseased tiger shrimp with the density of 15 ind./container having 7.5–9.5 cm in size and the average weight of 5.5–10.0 g. The study showed that Callyspongia basilana carotenoid extract was able to change blue diseased shrimp to be normal within six days at the concentration of 9 mg/L. The highest survival rate was found in the experiment D (93.3%). Meanwhile, the lowest was obtained by the control population (13.3%) and the other two treatments were 80.0%(C) and 73.3% (B). The average of water quality parameters such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, salinity, nitrite, and ammonia were in the suitable range for the growth and survival rate of tiger shrimp.

This study attempted to explain the definition, objectives, and key stages in mud crab nursery activities. The nursery stages of Scylla spp was started from megalopa stage to several crablet instar stages or started from earlier crablet stage to several crablet stages. Direct stocking of megalopa into ponds is not recommended due to their sensitivity. Instead, nursery rearing is needed to produce mud crab of larger size before stocking. Individual nursery rearing results in higher survival rate (up to 100%), but with reduced growth rate, and a more complicated maintenance process compared with communal rearing. Nursery of mud crab can be done indoors, or outdoors, with adequate shelter and feed required to obtain good survival and growth performance. Artemia nauplii are the main, established nursery feed, particularly at megalopa stage, while survival rate may be improved if combined with artificial feed, such as micro bound diet formulations. Water quality parameters, identical to those proposed in tiger shrimp culture, can followed. Crablets may be transported to the pond location with, or without water. The provision of monosex seeds from mud crab hatcheries is expected to become more common, increasing seed price, and thus improving income of farmers. Numerous aspects of mud crab nursery, including nutrition, feeding strategies, understanding of their behaviour, i.e., cannibalism, control of environmental factors, and practical rearing techniques, still need further improvement.

Barb (Barbonymus balleroides) considerably has economic potential as aquaculture commodity. However, there was still lack of development on aquaculture for this species. This study was conducted to observe the effect of different stocking density on growth of barb. The fish (body weight: 14.89 ± 0.13 g) were stocked in nine floating nets (dimension: 2 m x 2 m x 1 m) inside the concrete ponds with three stocking density treatments (10, 15, and 20 fish/m3). Each treatment consisted of three replications. Fish were fed on commercial pellet (30% of crude protein) as much as 3% of the biomass per day with twice a day of feeding frequency. Data of growth performances (body weight, specific growth rate, average daily growth, biomass, food conversion ratio, and survival rate) were collected every 30 days during 90 days of rearing period. Water quality variables (temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen) were observed during experiment. The results showed that the optimal stocking density for the growth of barb was 10 fish/m3. Best value of food conversion ratio was found 10 fish/m3 compared with 15 and 20 fish/m3 (P<0.05). Meanwhile, there were no significant differences on survival rate between treatments. These results also showed the potential of rearing barb on culture ponds with appropriate stocking density.
