Evaluation of Fish Production in Fish-cum-Poultry Integrated Aquaculture System

摘要

A study was conducted to evaluate the growth performance of fish under integrated fish-cum-poultry system with three species polyculture in comparison with the non-integrated control in two 200 m2 earthern ponds for one year. At the end of the cultureperiod, the treatment pond recorded significantly different overall weight gain of 612.17=1=11.24 gfor catla, 627.36±17.57 g for grass carp and 709.89±10.62 g for amur carp when compared to those of control. Overall survival percentage was higher (84%) in the treatment when compared to that of control (80.67%). Higher fish production of 25.78 kg / pond of catla, 25.83 kg / pond of grass carp and 30.53 kg / pond of amur carp was recorded in the treatment pond, while, the control pond pond recorded a lower fish production of 19.68 kg / pond of catla, 20.40 kg / pond of grass carp and 22.24 kg / pond of amur carp. A higher net fish production of 4,107.00 kg / ha for three species from integrated system was obtained when compared to the control (3,116.00 kg / ha). Also, an increase in fish production of 31.80 per cent was obtained in the integrated culture system when compared to the control.
