Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The present study was carried to observe the production performance of Vietnamese koi (Anabas testudineus) in the dewatering canal at BAPARD in Kotalipara Upazilla under Gopalgonj district Bangladesh from October to December 2019. The fingerlings of 3.8±0.04 cm and 0.5±0.01gm were stocked with three treatments (T₁, T₂ and T₃) each with two replications. The stocking densities were 1000 in T₁, 1200 in T₂ and 1400 fingerlings/dec in T₃, respectively. Supplemental feeds (30% protein) were applied for the fish. SGR (%) value (5.24±0.07) was recorded in T₁ and the lowest (5.08±0.23) in T₃. The survival rates were 64.73±1.5, 54.12±1.7 and 50.50±1.84 for T₁, T₂ and T₃ respectively. The FCR was 1.50±0.67, 1.60±0.14 and 1.78±1.15 in T₁, T₂ and T₃ respectively. The highest production was 36.05±2.25 kg/dec in T₁, followed by T2 (34.35±2.75 kg/dec) and T3 (34.28±3.65/dec) respectively. The highest benefit or net return for T₁ Tk. 1624.50 /dec and BCR of 1.43 followed by Tk. 1124.50/dec and BCR value of 1.28 in T₂ and Tk. 452.00/dec and BCR value of 1.10 in T₃.

Location: BAPARD campus, Gopalganj, Bangladesh

Start Date: 16-10-2019

End Date: 16-12-2019

Program Area: Animal Health and Management

Commodity: Koi/Climbing

Objectives:

To growth performance of Koi in dewatering canal. So that farmers achieve more knowledge about culture practices and obtain more profit.

Methodology:

Dewatering canal selection and preparation: The experiment was conducted for a period of three months (90 days) from 16 October to 16 December 2019 in a dewatering canal with six segments of length 40±0.5 meter and width 1.5±0.25 meter each with a depth of 1.00 meter at BAPARD campus, Kotalipara, Gopalganj. Prior to stocking, dewatering canals were cleaned with bleaching powder and quick lime. Experimental design: Three different stocking densities of Vietnamese koi (Anabas testudineus) were tested in the experiment. Stocking density was maintained as treatment and which replicated twice. Source of fingerlings: The fingerlings of Vietnamese koi (Anabas testudineus) were used in this experiment were collected from a private hatchery of Jashore, Bangladesh. Fish stocking Fingerlings of Vietnamese koi (Anabas testudineus) were stocked in 16 October 2019, according to the experimental design. Fish sampling: Random sample of ten fishes from each dewatering canal was sampled fortnightly by using a scoop net. The total weight was measured by using a portable electronic balance (Tanita, Japan). Feeding: After stocking, in order to meet up the increasing dietary demand, a commercial fish feed named Nourish Feed (Nursery-2 to Grower) containing an average 30% crude protein was applied as supplementary feed at the rate of 3-10% of standing biomass of fish twice daily. Water sampling and analysis: Physico-chemical parameters of pond water were monitored every 15 days interval between 9.00 AM to 10.00 AM. Water temperature was recorded using a Celsius thermometer and transparency (cm) was measured by using a Secchi disc of 20 cm diameter. Dissolved oxygen and pH were measured directly using a digital electronic oxygen meter (YSI, Model 58, USA) and an electronic pH meter (Jenway, Model 3020, UK). Total alkalinity was determined by the titrimetric method. Total ammonia of water samples was determined with the help of a Hach Kit (Model DR 2010, USA). Harvesting of fish: At the end of the experiment, the fishes were harvested by removing water from canal. The harvested fishes were counted and weight was recorded. Data analysis: Data were analysed using the SPSS Version-20. ANOVA was performed on all the dependent variables to see whether the treatment had any significant effect or not. An economic analysis was carried to estimate the net profit from different treatments. The analysis was based on local market prices for harvested fish and all other items. The costs of fingerlings,

Achievement/Findings:

The present study indicated that comparatively highest production was found in treatment T₁ which received lower stocking density (1000 fish/dec). From the research, it might be suggested that the farmers should maintain stocking density. The more study will be needed to production the performance of Vietnamese koi in dewatering canal.
