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.

Fish consumption is very less in Pakistan as compared to the world. The study was designed to conduct the economic analysis of the fish farming. Two districts were selected with the highest number of fish farms, i.e. Muzaffargarh and Khanewal. A total of 50 fish farms from both study areas were selected randomly for the study. Economic analysis was carried out from the collected data to estimate the profitability of fish farming. In order to make a comparison of profitability of fish farming with crop cultivation on per acre basis, data from 50 farmers from crop sector were also collected. The results revealed that fish farming was more profitable as compared to crop farming in the study area. Net income per acre was estimated at Rs. 252426 from fish farming as compared to net income per acre of Rs. 58612 from wheat-cotton, Rs. 72662 from cotton-rice and Rs. 53290 from sugarcane cultivation. The benefit cost ratio (BCR) of fish farming was calculated 1:1.52 and 1: 1.74 with and without land rent respectively. It illustrates that the enterprise yields 1.52 rupees and 1.74 rupees for every rupee invested. On the basis of results, it is suggested that fish farming should be promoted, especially in the areas of saline soils to enhance food security and uplifting the socioeconomic conditions of small farmers.

The study was carried out to determine the economic assessment of lemon-based agroforestry systems established in the Madhupur Sal forest during the period from May 2017 to September 2018. The study selected five lemon-based agroforestry systems viz. Lemon-Mango-Pineapple-Papaya-Ginger, Lemon-Pineapple-Papaya-Banana-Aroid, Lemon-Pineapple-Papaya-Ginger, Lemon-Mango-Turmeric-Red amaranth and Lemon-Litchi-Papaya-Banana along with three replications having 0.13 ha area for each sample plot. The control plots (without lemon plant) for each of the five lemon-based agroforestry systems were also selected. In order to calculate the economic profitability of respective agroforestry systems as well as sole cropping performance, data related to incurred cost, total yield and income from lemon and crop components were collected through practical observation, key informant interview and focus group discussion. The benefit-cost ratio (BCR) and land equivalent ratio (LER) for each of the selected agroforestry systems were also determined. From the study, it has been found that all of the lemon-based agroforestry systems were profitable than their sole cropping in respect of income, BCR, and LER. The net profit (460032 Tk/ha) indicated that the Lemon-Litchi-Papaya-Banana based agroforestry systems were financially more profitable followed by Lemon-Pineapple-Papaya-Banana-Aroid, Lemon-Mango-Pineapple-Papaya-Ginger, Lemon-Pineapple-Papaya-Ginger, Lemon-Mango-Turmeric-Red amaranth based agroforestry systems. But the BCR and LER (3.515 and 1.73) revealed that Lemon-Pineapple-Papaya-Banana-Aroid based agroforestry system was more productive followed by Lemon-Litchi-Papaya-Banana, Lemon-Mango-Pineapple-Papaya-Ginger, Lemon-Pineapple-Papaya-Ginger, Lemon-Mango-Turmeric-Red amaranth based agroforestry systems. Prior to considering the obtained results from the study, it can be concluded that lemon-based agroforestry systems are more profitable than the cultivation of sole cropping.

Wheat is the third most important cereal crop of Nepal after rice and maize in terms of area. The study on profitability and marketing of wheat was conducted in the Rupandehi district in 2019. The household survey, focus group discussion, interview with the individual market actors such as input suppliers, producers, collectors, wholesalers, millers, and retailers in selected clusters was carried out. The study showed that the Benefit-Cost Ratio of wheat production (BCR) was 1.87. The marketing margins at three different levels of marketing farm-wholesale, wholesale-retail, and farm-retail were also analyzed. The farm-retail marketing margin was found highest (31.42%) and the farm-wholesale marketing margins were less (15.78%). The producers’ share in consumer price was 68.5% and the total gross margin was 56.36%.  This showed if value-added activities are absent in the chain, the shorter chain can provide a higher margin to farmers by bypassing the intermediaries.

Prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) culture is socially more acceptable, technically and economically viable and sustainable. The freshwater catfishes Heteropneustes fossilis (shing) and Clarias batrachus (magur) adapt well to hypoxic water bodies and high stocking densities as well. So, shing and magur may be a good candidate to culture with prawn in ponds/ghers to save the farmers from losing their investment in case of shrimp mortality and getting additional income from fish. With this view, this study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of polyculture with three treatments each with three replications. Stocking density of shing was variable i.e., 200nos/decimal in T1, 300nos/decimal in T2 and 400 nos/decimal in T3. On the other hand, stocking density of magur and prawn juveniles was 50 and 30 nos/decimal respectably for all treatments. The experimental ghers were treated with salt (NaCl) (150g/decimal), potasium permanganate (5g/decimal) along with lime (125 kg/ha). After stocking fish were fed using floating nursery feed containing 32%, protein and 7% lipid at the rate of 10-2% for shing and magur nursing, floating oil coated grower feed (27% protein and 6% lipid) at the rate of 6-2% for shing and magur grow out and prawn grower (30% protein and 7% lipid) at the rate of 6-2.5% of estimated fish and prawn biomass. At least 10% of stocked catfish and galda were sampled fortnightly using cast net. Physico-chemical parameters of the experimental ghers water were monitored at weekly. After six months of culture the highest growth performance (47.0 g) and survival (19.94%) for shing obtained from T3. Whereas the average growth of shing was recorded 37.02 and 41.14g; growth of magur 99.21g and 99.51g and growth of galda 69.74 and 70.19 for Treatment T1 and T2 respectively. Except ammonia and iron content the other observed parameters of ghers water found congenial for fish health. The value of Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR) was 1.4 that seems to be profitable and feasible of this polyculture practice.

The study was designed to examine the low lying inland fish farming practices of Karimganj upazila under Kishoreganj districts. Field level data were collected through direct interview using semi-structured questionnaire. Eighty sample farmers were selected purposively from the study areas. Six types of farming practices were identified in the study area among which only two types were prominent i.e., pond fish farming and Beel fish farming. Tabular, statistical and mathematical analyses were done to achieve the major objectives. The benefit cost ratio in Beel fish farming was 2.86 and in case of pond fish farming it was 1.95. Multiple regression model was used to explain the variation of gross return of pond and Beel fish farming and it was found that coefficients of human labour, feed, cowdung and manure had significant impact on gross return, whereas coefficients of feed, harvesting and making sanctuary had significant impact on gross return of Beel fish farming. Resource use efficiency was calculated by the ratio of marginal value product and marginal factor cost. Finally, the study identified some important problems of low lying inland fish farming and suggested probable solutions relating to the problems.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v23i1-2.16619Progress.
