FERTILIZATION AND FEEDING REGIMES IN BROOD PONDS OF INDIAN MAJOR CARPS IN JESSORE AND MYMENSINGH REGIONS OF BANGLADESH (Pages : 1 - 4)

Hatchery and fish seed production is the rapidly growing industry in Bangladesh. It has specially been boomed in Jessore and Mymensingh regions. Presently about 99 percent of the Indian major carps seed is produced from hatcheries. The seed quality largely depends on brood fish management relating to feeding and fertilization regimes followed by the hatcheries. Feed with proper ingredients is a key factor for attaining desired brood quality. A survey was conducted on Indian major carp brood rearing techniques relating to feeding and fertilization practices in some hatcheries in Jessore and Mymensingh regions. Fertilization of the ponds was found to be done with urea, Triple Super Phosphate (TSP), Muraite of Potash (MP) and mustard oil cake at a comparatively higher rate in Jessore than in Mymensingh. Cow dung was seen to be used higher in amount in Mymensingh than in Jessore region. Percentages of rice bran and fish meal were higher in Jessore region; while wheat bran was used comparatively at higher percentage in Mymensingh region. Mustard oil cake and vitamin premix were found to be used closely similar in amount in both the regions. Some traditional food items were seen to be used in both the regions.Download
