SIS-CARP POLYCULTURE IN HOMESTEAD POND OF RURAL WOMEN FARMER (Pages : 19 - 23)

The experiment was carried out on Carp polyculture with SIS in three homestead ponds (each size 15 dec.) of rural women farmer from 2 July to 30 December 2012 in three earthen ponds at Ramgopalpur under Gouripur upazila of Mymensingh district. The stocked fishes were silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), catla (Catla catla), rui (Labeo rohita), mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) and, mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) and stocking density per decimal was 15, 6, 20, 6 and 150 fish, respectively. Fishes were fed with three diets consisting of rice bran with mustard oil cake, rice bran and wheat bran in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. The physico-chemical parameters were found in suitable range for fish culture during experimental period. Among the treatments, the highest mean final weights were found in silver carp 80.00, catla 42.00, rohu 112.00 and mrigal 31.20 kg/15 dec. in T1. The mean final weight of mola (SIS) was also highest found in T1 (4.80 kg/15 dec.) and lowest in T3 (4.70 kg/15 dec.). Among the treatments, the survival rate of carps species were highest in T1 ranging from 87.50 to 93.33. However, total production of SIS with carp polyculture was also highest in T1 (270 kg/15 dec.) and lowest was in T3 (190.10 kg/15 dec.). Download
