FISH FARMING SYSTEM COMPONENT FOR INTEGRATION AND TRAINING IN SOUTHERN COASTAL ZONES OF BANGLADESH (Pages : 1 - 5)

A series sequential studies were conducted on the fish farming system component for integration and training in southern zones of Bangladesh. The main objectives of the studies were to identify the agri-component integrations important for the target areas, land and soil water characteristics, and to know the fisheries sub-systems affecting component interactions. The results on the physiographic land and soil characters bed utilization showed that the most of the soils were medium high to medium lowlands. The texture of the soils was silt loam to clay loam and the soil pH or reactions were slightly alkaline or slightly saline. The fish farming systems components were cultivation of fruits and vegetables along with ber fish. Social marketing of fish was the most sensitive component in the system. The soil and water pH was found to be 6.8 to 8.0 and its range was narrower in the upper range starting from Patuakhali to Barisal indicating the need for more lime dressing. It was recommended that the integration of Agriculture and fisheries as to meet the present technical problems, the depth, width and number of bers should be increased. Download
