The study was conducted to identify the possibilities of natural spawning ground of carp fishes in Surma and Kushiara river in Sylhet for a period of four months during April to July 2015. Four locations were selected for this study to explore the existence of spawning ground and availability of carp spawn in the Sylhet haor basin. The sampling points were Hetimganj point (Surma river), Bhadeswar point (Kushiara river), Monumukh point (Kushiara river) and Atgram point (Surma river). The research was done by setting up two Savar nets at each sampling points of river site for the collection of fish seed samples. It was observed that 3105 g of carp seeds was collected from Hetimganj point and 50 g from the Bhadeswar point. The carp spawn fishing intensity was 186.56 g day-1net-1 in new moon and 20 g day-1 net-1 in full moon at Hetimganj point. No carp fish seeds were found in Monumukh and Atgram point. The water quality parameters of the sampling sites were found within the suitable range and no significant differences of the parameters among the sampling sites. The availability of carp spawn in the study area indicated the possibilities of spawning ground of carp species in the Surma river.

There are many reasons for the low quality, for instance, inbreeding, interspecific hybridization and cross-breeding are threatening the genetic diversity of indigenous wild stocks of Indian Major Carps. Once the natural spawning ground of carp species was available in the different rivers of greater Sylhet specially Surma, Kushiara and Monu river. Nowadays the spawning grounds are supposed to be closed or going to be extinct due to various man-made and natural causes. However, it needs to be proper study to investigate the existence of spawning ground and availability of carp spawn in Sylhet haor basin

2.1 Study area and period A study was carried out to explore the existence of spawning ground in Surma and Kushiara river for a period of four months during April to July 2015. Four (04) sampling points were selected from different suitable location of Surma and Kushiara river site with the help of local Upazila Fisheries Office, Fishermen Community and other stakeholders. The selected sampling sites were Hetimganj and Atgram point in Surma river; and Bhadeswar and Monumukh point in Kushiara river.

2.2 Natural fish spawn collection The Indian major carp spawn fishing gear that has traditionally been used in the two major river systems (Ganges-Padma and Bhrhamaputra-Jamuna) is a funnel-shaped fixed net, popularly called ‘Savar net’. This is a type of set bag net specially designed to fix the net at the shallow, gently sloping shoreline of the rivers, where the depth of water is negotiable without any aid. The ‘Savar net’ is usually small, with a collection pocket at the tail end. The net is made of a fine mesh that traps tiny eggs or spawn that drift with the water flow during the monsoon months. The upper edge of the tail bag is kept about 4–5 cm above the water surface to prevent the escape of spawn (Figure 2).

The savar net has a wide mouth (anterior opening) and a small tail (posterior) opening. The mouth has two lateral extensions, each 6'-2" long and 2' wide (deep). The tail opening is round and it has 9" diameter. Its edge is stitched in a ring of split bamboo. The tail bag is a receptacle, which collects spawn trapped in the net. It is rectangular in shape made of gamcha (local cloth) or other finely woven cloth.

2.3 Collection and transportation of fish seed samples The research was conducted by setting up two ‘Savar net’ at each sampling point for the collection of fish seed sample. The sampling works was done by a skilled fisherman at each site in Surma and Kushiara rivers through a collection of fish seed sample. The sampling net was observed four times in a day at 6 hours interval. Fish seed sample were collected at six hours interval from the sampling points and samples were collected through oxygen bag. The collected samples were transferred and stocked immediately in a small pond (1 decimal) at the Fish Seed Multiplication Farm (FSMF), Golapganj. For ponds were used separately for four sampling sites. 

2.4 Spawn rearing and species identification: The collected samples were reared for a period of 15 days for species identification. The fish seeds were reared properly for 15 days with the necessary management technique. After 15 days, the sizes of the fish spawn were about 2.5-3.0 cm and they were easily identified. The identification of fish species was done by visual investigation.

2.5 Water quality parameters: Water quality parameters such as water temperature, turbidity, pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), acidity, alkalinity, ammonia, CO2, chloride, hardness, nitrate, TDS were estimated at a monthly intervals from 09.00 to 10.00 am. Water temperature was recorded with a Celsius thermometer, and turbidity was measured with a Secchi disc of 20-cm diameter. Dissolved oxygen, pH and other parameters were measured by digital HANNA instruments. The Enumerator (MS student) was involved there closely with each sampling site for sample collection and other activities. Technical supports and laboratory facilities were provided from the Department of Fish Biology and Genetics, Sylhet Agricultural University.

2.6 Data processing and analysis The collected data were summarized and scrutinized carefully before the actual tabulation. For processing and analysis purposes, MS Excel and SPSS have been used.

The study revealed that only one sampling point had a positive response for the availability of carp spawn out of four sampling points in Surma and Kushiara River. The availability of carp fish seed at Hetimganj point may be indicated the existence of natural spawning ground in the Surma River. Water quality was also in good condition at Hetimganj point in Surma compared to the other three points which were positively related to carp seed production. There was so many limitations such as- very short duration of study period, small numbers of fishing gear (savar net) used, limited sampling points and shortage of manpower with small budget etc. for conducting this study. Therefore an advance and comprehensive study should be required to identify the actual spawning ground of carp seeds in Surma and Kushiara River. Furthermore, public responsiveness should be amplified about importance of natural spawning ground, unused illegal gear, implementing rules and regulations, the establishment of sanctuary and over fishing during breeding season will be recommended.
