Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The present study was carried out to find out the current trends of fresh water aquaculture production of Bangladesh emphasized on fresh water culture with the data over last 17 years analyzing through electronic windows version software FISHSTAT+, (FAO). The collected data were evaluated the trends of fish production in various aspects which values from 1985 to 2002 for Bangladesh perspective. Analytical data focused that total aquaculture production mainly depends on freshwater aquaculture and largely production of carp polyculture. Freshwater aquaculture production value is increasing rather than other aquaculture. The major carp production trend is more or less changing due to the farmer interest in culture of high income species. Fresh water aquaculture production is increasing day by day. Last 17 years' research findings were overviewed emphasising on constraints, farmers’ interest, export scenario, feasibility and acceptability to fish culture and existing technologies. Among the problems associated with freshwater aquaculture are environmental factors, lack of seed, disease, high cost of feed, inappropriate technologies, and lack of knowledge of farmer. Exotic carps are introduced in freshwater aquaculture due to its nature of culture is eco-friendly, production rate is very high and small scale farmer can easily do the carp poly culture in the small pond and can get the money security.

Location: Dhaka

Start Date: 00-00-1985

End Date: 00-00-2002

Program Area: Knowledge Management

Commodity: Aquatic animal

Objectives:

To find out present status of fresh water aquaculture and export scenario in Bangladesh particularly of shrimp and prawn in the aspect of production and values trends for over 17 years period from 1985-2002.

Methodology:

This paper has been prepared with using secondary data specially follow the FAO data. During preparing this paper different Journals, books, thesis were reviewed etc. The provision of aquaculture production in quantities, values and capture production databases has provided by FAO through a Windows-based program called FISHSTAT+. The details materials and methodology used in this study is given here below: Data Source: Electronic version of Fsishstat+ (2003) (FAO), From Fishstat+ 17 Years data (1985-2002) from Aquaculture Production; Quantities, values, commodities production and trade dataset was extracted through the instruction given by the course instructor. All data were analyzed and graphs are generated using Microsoft Excel.

Achievement/Findings:

Freshwater aquaculture production value is increasing rather than other aquaculture. The major carp production trend is more or less changing due to the farmer interest in culture of high income species. Fresh water aquaculture production is increasing day by day. Last 17 years' research findings were overviewed emphasising on constraints, farmers’ interest, export scenario, feasibility and acceptability to fish culture and existing technologies. Among the problems associated with freshwater aquaculture are environmental factors, lack of seed, disease, high cost of feed, inappropriate technologies, and lack of knowledge of farmer. Exotic carps are introduced in freshwater aquaculture due to its nature of culture is eco-friendly, production rate is very high and small scale farmer can easily do the carp poly culture in the small pond and can get the money security.
