Senior Scientific Officer
Riverine Sub-station, Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute, Khepupara, Patguakhali

Abstract/ Executive Summary:

Quality brood stocks will be produced by poly-culture culture system to collect brood fishes. Quality spawn will be produced from these brood stocks in RSS hatchery. Maximum quality carp spawns and broods will be distributed to the nursery and hatchery operators and farmers of this region. Best growth fishes will be selected as stocks and reared in the ponds of BFRI, RSS, and Khepupara to develop a future brood bank, which will serve as a center for quality brood stock in these regions.

Keywords: Carp brood development, Growth performance, Fingerling

Location: Khepupara, Patuakhali

Start Date: July 2012

End Date: June 2015

Program Area: Variety and Species

Commodity: Carp fish

Objectives:

1. To produce quality carp seed at Riverine Sub-station, Khepupara hatchery from BFRI reared brood.

2. To compare the growth performance of carp by using BFRI produced fingerlings and local fingerlings at farmer's level; adoption of backyard prawn hatchery.

Methodology:

The collected quality carps from Freshwater Station, BFRI, Mymensingh was used for quality brood stock development using poly-culture system. The collected quality carps spawns was reared in the ponds at Riverine Sub-station, Khepupara, Patuakhali. All the ponds were prepared following the standard procedure of drying, liming and fertilizing etc. After hatching the spawn was fed with a mixture of fishmeal 20% + mustard oil cake 20% + meat and bone meal 10% + rice bran 35% + wheat flour 14% + vitamin premix 1%, having 30% protein) or commercial diets.

Funding Source:

1. Government

Budget: Thirty lakh

Total Budget (Tk.) : Thirty lakh

Achievement/Findings:

About 40.0 kg spawn and 140,000 fingerlings were produced. Among them 34.0 kg spawn and 97,000 fingerlings were disseminated to the farmers during last year in these region. Experiment result showed that 15-20% of better growth of carps was found in BFRI improve fingerling compare with local fingerling at farmer’s pond.
