Fish Seed Production and Rearing Center in Bodla, Chhattisgarh breeds Indian major carps (IMCs) such as catla, rohu, and mrigal. Healthy brooders are collected from nearby water bodies and held in an ante tank. Males and females are selected based on physical characteristics and injected intrapritoneally with the synthetic hormone ovatide to induce breeding. The dosed brooders are transferred to a breeding tank, with females outside and males within a enclosure. After 6-7 hours, spawning occurs and eggs are collected for incubation. The hatchery conducts all life stages of IMCs from breeding to nursery and rearing.

REGIONAL WORKSHOP ON FISHERIES AND MARINE GENETIC RESOURCES AND THEIR AMELIORATION COUNTRY STATUS REPORT: BHUTAN by Gopal Prasad Khanal Presented during the Regional Workshop on Underutilized Fish and Marine Genetic Resources and their Amelioration, 10-12 July 2019, Location: Colombo, Sri Lanka
Fishery -all the activities connected with the securing of animal and vegetable products from the earth waters.
Fishery products include such items as fish, clams, oysters, lobsters, eels, shrimps, turtles, seals, and whales. Pearl sponges, coral shells, and seaweeds are also included among the products derived from the sea. Fish provides the protein which is needed in the human diet. Fisheries are perhaps the most poorly managed of all the natural resources. The unscientific assumption that man can never exhaust the resources of the sea has placed upon nature the entire responsibility for renewal and replenishment.

Evolution of fisheries sector in BangladeshMD. ZANE ALAM
Bangladesh is a densely populated country of 147 570 km2 with a population of 160
million people. It is fortunate in having an extensive water resource in the form of ponds,
natural depressions (haors and beels ), lakes, canals, rivers and estuaries covering an area
of 47,03,658 ha .
The present per capita annual fish consumption in Bangladesh stands at about 14 kg/year
against a recommended minimum requirement of 18 kg/year; hence, there is still need to
improve fish consumption in the country.
Fisheries in Bangladesh are diverse, there are about 795 native species of fish and shrimp
in the fresh and marine waters of Bangladesh and 12 exotic species that have been
introduced. In addition, there are 10 species of pearl bearing bivalves, 12 species of
edible tortoise and turtle, 15 species of crab and 3 species of lobster.

In order to understand the present status of hatcheries, questionnaire interview and participatory rural appraisal tools were used in North-west Fisheries Extension Project (NFEP), Parbatipur during the period from July to December 2015. There are two hatcheries in NFEP, Parbatipur- a carp hatchery and a prawn hatchery. The production of spawn was around 611 kg in the year 2015. According to the target hatchery manager collected brood fish from rivers and other sources which he maintained in their brood stock ponds with proper management. The hatchery manager maintained proper age and weight of broods for spawning and followed the guideline of hatchery operation so that the quality of spawn and fry were good. It was found that the hatcheries produced fish seed of a variety of species such as Indian major carps, carpio, sarpunti, silver carp, grass carp, magur, shing as well as freshwater prawn. The hatchery production activities took place starting from February and continued up to September. The quantity of fish seed produce varied from 25 to 75 kg per hatching cycle depending on size and facilities of hatcheries. The price of fry in NFEP was being fixed by the hatchery manager. However, the price variation was seen due to seasonal variation, species and demand. The average price of fish seed was highest in monsoon and lowest in winter. A number of middlemen were involved in the fry marketing channel of NFEP at Parbatipur. They were responsible for increasing the price of fry at each stage of marketing channel.

The present study was conducted on 10 hatchery owners at Chanchra under Jashore district. The study period was May to August 2015. Data were collected through questionnaire interviews by using personal interviews and participatory rural appraisal (PRA) tools. In the study area, maximum spawn production of hatcheries was 2500 kg and minimum 800 kg. About 50% brood fishes were collected from own pond, 30% were collected from other's hatcheries and rest of 20% were collected from natural sources. The hatchery owners maintained proper age and weight of broods for spawning and followed the guideline of hatchery operation so that the quality of spawn and fry those produced by them were good in quality. It was found that the hatcheries produced fish seed of a variety of species like Indian major carps, carpio, sarpunti, silver carp, grass carp, magur, shing etc. The hatchery production activities took place starting February and continued up to September. The quantity of fish seed produce varied from 25 to 75 kg per hatchling cycle depending on size and facilities of hatcheries. The price of fry in Jashore was being fixed by the hatchery owners. However, the price variation was seen due to seasonal variation, species and demand. The average price of fish seed was maximum in monsoon and minimum in winter. In general skilled technicians were involved in hatchery operation. Some hatchery owners were well experienced and operated their own hatcheries. The hatcheries in Jashore district were viable. The hatchery owners had improved their social status though hatchery income.
Economics of fish production in paddy fields in BangladeshAbdullaAlAsif1
This study was conducted to assess profitability of fish production in paddy fields in the village of Kunia and Chandora, under Gacha union in Gazipur sadar upazila in Gazipur district. Primary data were collected from 15 fish farmers for the study during the period from June to November, 2016. Production performance of three stocking package were compared. CFP-1 package contained Thai sarpunti (24700/ha) + Tilapia (6175/ha); CFP-2 comprised of Thai sarpunti (24700/ha) + Common carp (6175/ha); while CFP-3 was represented by Thai sarpunti (24700/ha) + (Tilapia (6175/ha) + Common carp (6175/ha). Both tabular and functional analyses were used to achieve the objectives of the study. Fish productions in paddy fields are profitable business. The total cost of fish production under three selected stocking plans such as CFP-1, CFP-2 and CFP-3 were estimated to be Tk. 73085, Tk. 83459 and Tk. 86928 per ha, respectively. The corresponding total gross return (Tk./ha) were Tk. 209777, Tk. 274170 and Tk. 262721, respectively. The benefit cost ratio (BCR) was estimated to be 2.87, 3.28 and 3.02 for package-1, package-2 and package-3, respectively. Returns over per taka investment (NR/Tk.) were found to be 1.32, 1.69 and 1.42 for the above fish culture packages. Cobb-Douglas production function analysis indicated the positive contribution of fish fingerlings, fertilizer, fish feed and lime on the total income and farm productivity, while human labor and bank interest rate decreased the farm income. The values of R2 were 0.775, 0.739 and 0.812 for CFP-1, CFP-2 and CFP-3, respectively. About 77.5 percent, 73.9 percent and 81.2 percent of variation in yield and gross return of fish production in paddy fields could be explained by the multiple regression equations. Fish production in paddy fields are economically profitable, viable and environment friendly. The farmers may undertake fish culture in paddy fields if suitable paddy fields are available.

The present study was carried out to know the artificial breeding of Ompk pabda, Heteropneustes fossilis and Pangasius hypophthalmus using pituitary gland (PG) from June to August 2014, in the hatcheries in Jessore region. Brood stock of Pangus, Shing, and Pabda was developed in the hatchery. A total of 10 hatcheries were included in the study. Brood fishes were reared in the brood rearing pond by providing artificial diet for good health and full maturation. Brood fishes were injected with PG in different months June to August. Both male and female were injected with PG. In Pabda, Shing and Pangus first PG dose was applied at 8-10, 30-35 and 1-2 mg PG/kg of body weight of females respectively. After 1 st PG dose of Pabda, Shing, and Pangus (6 hours later) female were treated with 2nd doses at 10-12, 60, 8-10 mg PG/kg of body weight, respectively. At the time of second dose of female, the males were also treated with single PG dose. The males of Pabda, Shing and Pangus were treated with 8-10, 30-35 and 1-2 mg PG/kg body weight respectively. It was observed that the female and male brood fishes eject eggs and milt within 12-14 hours respectively. Ovulation occurred in Pabda, Shing, and Pangus naturally after, 6-7 hours. The fertilized eggs of Pabda, Shing and Pangus were hatched within 22-24 hours. The temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen and transparency ranged from 22-34 0 C, 6-8.5, 5-7.5 ppm and 22-32 cm of the water of brood rearing ponds respectively. The average spawn production and body weight of female Pabda, Shing and Pangus were 11500/kg and 120/gm, 21000/kg and 130/gm, 44500/kg and 3.5/kg, respectively. The average fertilization, hatching and survival rate of Pangus (80%, 73% and 64%), Shing (73%, 68% and 58%) and Pabda (78%, 65% and 60%) respectively. The male and female ratio was maintained as 1:2 for each fishes.
A bureau de change? What's that got to do with the price of fish? Quite a lot, actually. Well over two thirds of the world's farmed common carp is produced in China. As a result, it is believed that the strength of the Chinese yuan can have a significant effect on the market price of this fish worldwide.
Aquaculture Revolution in Bangladesh.pdfSadia Nabilah
Bangladesh has one of the largest and most active deltas, nourished by the Padma, Meghna, and Jamuna rivers. This increases the potential for fresh and brackish water capture and culture fisheries. Aquaculture is the fastest-growing enterprise in Bangladesh since the 1980s.
Aquaculture production is unevenly dispersed geographically with Asian countries contributing nearly 90% of global production; where, China is the largest producer in 2018, followed by India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh, respectively (FAO, 2020). According to FAO report The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture 2018, Bangladesh ranked 5th in world aquaculture production. The aquaculture industry has worked out towards creating new possibilities and yet has to face some future challenges due to unwise practices and knowledge gaps.
Employment opportunities in the sector are a boon as well – official statistics show that the fisheries and aquaculture sectors (directly and indirectly) support more than 18 million people. The aquaculture sector has a high potential for the perspective on the economic development of the country.
As with any livestock industry in Bangladesh, there are a number of challenges that can impact the viability of aquaculture initiatives in future. Aquaculture can be no riskier than, say, poultry farming. We have to figure out what these challenges are and how both external and internal challenges can be managed through good project design.
Culture and management techniques of Vietnamese KoiAbdullaAlAsif1
The first time study approach about culture and management in Bangladesh was conducted to observe the induce breeding, nursing and rearing technique of Vietnam koi (Anabas testudineus) fish culture in fresh water farm in Mymensingh region, Bangladesh for a period of 120 days from May, 2013 to August, 2013. In this study, inducing agent PG was used to achieve fertilization and hatching success of climbing perch, Anabas testudineus. During induce breeding, male and female in a ratio of 1:1 were used. The females were given single injection of 6-8 mg PG/kg body weight and the males were given 2-3 mg PG/kg body weight and nursing and rearing of vietnam koi (Anabas testudineus) fish were carried out as monoculture in earthen ponds. In this study, two earthen ponds of 20 decimal with an average depth of 2.5 to 3 feet and two earthen ponds of 50 decimal with an average depth of 3 to 5 feet were used for nursing and rearing of Vietnam koi respectively. Nursing and rearing of Vietnam koi (Anabas testudinus) were carried out as monoculture in earthen ponds. The water temperature in the culture pond was ranged from 31.29±0.85 to 35.5±0.58 0 C during nursing and rearing. The value of Dissolve Oxygen (DO) and pH was ranged from 6.20±0.41 to 5.0±0.71 mg/l and 7.8±0.62 to 7.1±0.47 respectively. The average weight of the fingerlings during stocking was 0.8g in nursery stage and 20g in rearing stage. Fingerlings were stocked at 1750 fish /decimal in the rearing pond. Fry in the nursing ponds were fed with Hatchery feed (powder) at the rate of 40-50% of their total body weight. Fingerlings in the rearing ponds were fed with Koi Starter and Koi Grower feed at the rate of 15-20% of their total body weight. The final average weight (g) of Vietnam koi was (0.8±0.08)g in nursery stage & (200.0±0.82)g in rearing stage. The Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) of total artificial feed was 1.63. The survival rate of Vietnam koi fish was 70% and the net production was 167kg/decimal. The total benefit was 5,48,455.00 BDT. Benefit-cost ratio of this study was 1.43. Therefore, it could be concluded that nursing and rearing of Vietnam koi (Anabas testudineus) by using artificial feed under a monoculture system in the earthen ponds is potentially and economically feasible.
In aquaculture production India is the second largest country in the world after China. The terrestrial and aquatic animal farming sectors are rapidly expanding and intensifying in the country. Aquaculture, which counts for almost two thirds of fish production in India, has shown significant growth in the last two decades and has transformed itself into an industry contributing substantially to food production.

The present study was conducted to determine the proximate composition of fish feed ingredients locally available in Narsingdi Region. In this study protein, lipid, moisture, ash, carbohydrate concentrations was assessed in rice bran, maize bran, wheat bran, mustard oil cake, soybean meal, DORB, meat and bone meal, mixed of oyster, shrimp shell and crab shell. Proximate composition was determined on the homogenous basis. The quantity of protein in different fish feed ingredients ranged from (12.04±1.30-47.23±0.61)%. Maximum amount of protein content (47.23±0.61)% was recorded from the meat and bone meal and minimum amount (12.04±1.30)% was recorded from the maize bran. The concentration of lipid in different feed stuffs ranged from (2.5±0.37-18.5±1.1)%. The highest value (18.5±1.1)% of lipid content was found in soybean meal and the minimum (2.5±0.37)% was recorded in Crab shell. Moreover, the value of moisture and ash were recorded (5.00±0.88-13.28±1.46)% and (7.43±0.12-22.55±1.32)% in the locally found feed respectively. The highest value of moisture (13.28±1.46)% was recorded from crab shell and the lowest value of moisture (5.00±0.88)% was recorded from meat and bone meal. The highest amount of ash (22.55±1.32)% was also found in meat and bone meal and the lowest amount of ash (7.43±0.12)% was found in maize bran. And finally last the concentration of carbohydrate in different feed stuffs ranged from (15.67±0.5-66.77±1.13)%. Maximum amount of carbohydrate content (66.77±1.13)% was recorded from the maize bran and minimum amount of carbohydrate content (15.67±0.5)% was recorded from the soybean meal.

The present study was conducted in Jhikargacha sub-district of Jessore district with the view to evaluating status of polyculture of Pangasius hypophthalmus with carps from July to December 2012. The mean age and experience of the respondents was 41.28±12.19 and 9.48±3.12 years respectively. Culture pond size was 0.41±0.21 ha (0.343 to 0.478 at 95% CL). 67.50% culture ponds were leased ponds and mean yearly lease value was 535364.70±468224.20 BDT/ha. All the ponds were rectangular in shape and perennial in nature. During preparation of pond, all the ponds were dried by draining out the water. Liming was done at 229.30±118.70 kg/ha (pre-stocking) and 250 kg/ha (post-stocking). Application rate of various fertilizers during post stocking management were recorded as- 155.12±79.10 kg/ha (cow dung); 158.27±79.85 kg/ha (urea); and 79.90±42.93 kg/ha (TSP). Five species of fishes were found to be stocked at the rate of 7377 individuals/ha including 93.10% P. hypophthalmus seeds and 6.90% other carps. Supplementary feeding was done daily and the application rates were 444.23±236.41 kg/ha (rice bran), 228.29±116.96 kg/ha (mustard oil cake), and 912.91±468.05 kg/ha (commercial pangus feeds, pellet). Average fish production was found 6672.84 kg/ha. All the fishes grown in the study area were marketed to fish landing centers and markets of three districts- Chuadanga (47.50%), Dhaka (30%) and Jessore (22.50%). The average cost-benefit ratio was 1:1.15. High mortality, low growth of seeds, and high input price were the major problems.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

supply increasing at an average annual rate of 3.2 percent, outpacing world population
growth at 1.6 percent. World per capita apparent fish consumption increased from an average
of 9.9 kg in the 1960s to 20.1 kg in 2016 (FAO, 2016). China ranks first in production of
fishes and contribute the largest portion of world’s total fisheries production, particularly
from aquaculture. Presently, India is the second largest fish producing country in the world.

1.2. Aquaculture in India
Fisheries not only contribute to nutritional security but also provided employment and
livelihood to more than 14 million people in primary level and is earned over Rs 30,420.83
crore annually through export (MPEDA, 2016). The vibrancy of the sector can be visualized
by the 11 fold increased that India achieved in fish production in just six decades i.e. from
0.75 million tons in 1950-51 to 10.16 million tons (6.51 million tons in Inland & 3.65 million
tons in Marine) during 2014-15 (DAHD, 2016). This resulted in an unparalleled average
annual growth rate of over 4.5 percent over the years which has placed the country on the
fore front of global fish production, only after China. Freshwater aquaculture contributes to
over 95 percent of the total aquaculture production. The national mean production levels
from ponds has gone up from about 600 kg/hectare/year in 1974 to over 2900 kg/hectare/year
(MPEDA, 2016).
1.3. Aquaculture in Chhattisgarh
In Chhattisgarh, the fisheries sector has been recognized as a powerful income &
employment generating source and plays an important role in developing rural economy and
is a source of cheap and nutritious food. More than 2.50 lakhs fishermen in the Chhattisgarh
3. 3
depends on fisheries and aquaculture for their livelihood and also it occupies an important
place in the socio-economic development of the state. Chhattisgarh stands at 6th
position in
the total inland fish production with annual fish production of 3.76 lakhs tons (Department of
Fisheries, Govt. of Chhattisgarh, 2016-17).
1.3.1. Fisheries Resources in Chhattisgarh
The Chhattisgarh possesses vast and varied natural water area available for fish
culture in the form of rivers, reservoirs, ponds & tanks. Water area available for fish culture
is as shown in Table 2.

2.1. Introduction
Carps contribute the largest share in the total global aquaculture production. Carps
alone contribute >85% of the total inland aquaculture production in India (Ayappan, 2013).
These fishes are cultivated extensively in Asian countries because of their consumer
preference & suitable climate prevalent in these areas for its growth. Carps form the mainstay
of aquaculture in India. Major carps that are native to Indo-Gangetic riverine system of India
are Catla (Catla catla), Rohu (Labeo rohita), and Mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala). As a matter of
fact, India is called as the “CARP COUNTRY” with reference to aquaculture because carp
flesh is highly relished by the majority of its population & these fishes are cultivated in this
country from ancient days. Last three decades have witnessed a phenomenal growth in the
farming of these carps in India as a result the market demand for fry stocking also has
increased. All major carps mentioned above are seasonal riverine spawner. Breeding of carp
was very old practice. Previously, it was breed naturally then pituitary extract was used for
induced breeding of carps. Brazil was the first country to develop hypophysation technique
in 1934. In India, Prof. Hiralal Chaudhary suceeded in induced breeding in 1957. Nowadays,
synthetic hormones i.e. ovaprim, ovatide etc. are used for breeding.
2.2. Site of Work
2.2.1. Fish Seed Production and Rearing Center, Koshtabandha, Bodla
It is a Government hatchery established on 16th
July, 2010 in 2 hectare area in Village
Koshtabandha, Bodla. Block Bodla is one of the four blocks in Kabirdham district and is
located 22 km away from Kawardha Distt. Kabirdham. Carp Hatchery, Bodla has 9 numbers
of ponds with total water area of 12541.4 m2
(1.25 ha.) and remaining land area is about
7458.6 m2
(0.74 ha.). The water for the hatchery drawn from the Chhirpani reservoir which is
2 km away from the hatchery site. The hatchery has also got bore well to support continuous
water supply. The soil and water quality of hatchery is good enough for carp seed production.
Artificial feed was used for feeding brooders and mixture of mustard oil cake, rice bran for
fry, fingerlings in the hatchery.

2.3. Breeding in Eco-Hatchery
Circular Eco-hatchery is the most common hatchery system adopted all over the
country. The configuration of the hatchery components vary according to need and local
conditions. The hatchery at Bodla is a circular Eco-hatchery and it was having following
components –
1. Over head tank
2. Ante tank
3. Breeding/Spawning tank
4. Egg collection chamber
5. Incubation/Hatching tank
6. Spawn collection tank
2.4. Collection of Brooders
For breeding purpose, healthy & mature brooders (1or 2 years old) were collected with
the help of drag net where the size of net was 100 x 20 m and the mesh size was 80-100 mm.
The maturity and health conditions of the brooders (such as any sign for diseases or physical
injury) were checked and kept in ante tank to hold ripe brooders prior to hormone
administration.
2.4.1 Selection of Male & Female Broodstock
Male & female brooders were identified by visual examination. Sex can be easily
identified during breeding season. Main criteria for selection of male & female are given in
the table below.

2.6. Incubation of Eggs
Before incubation of eggs in incubation tank, the tank was cleaned with water and
disinfected with lime and KMnO4. After mixing of milt and eggs along with water with the
feathers immediately the fertilized eggs in the tub was released into the outer chamber of
incubation tank for further egg development. As a constant flow of water was maintained in
the tank with the help of duck mouths, eggs released into the outer chamber got sufficient
oxygen as they were drifted along with water current in a unidirectional circular motion.
2.6.1. Fertilization of Eggs
Fertilization rate was calculated by taking the egg sample randomly from the
incubation tank. Random samples were taken from surface, column and bottom. Sample was
taken in triplicate from the surface, column and bottom of the incubation tank. The number of
fertilized and unfertilized egg was counted in a sample and then percentage calculation of
fertilization rate was done with reference to total number of eggs in a sample.

3.2. Management of Pond
Carp seed rearing management can be broadly classified into:-
1. Pre - stocking management
2. Stocking management
3. Post - stocking management
3.2.1. Pre - Stocking Management
Seeds of carps are delicate in nature and their growth and survival largely depend on
the environment in which they live. The biological characteristics like the food preference
and feeding habit of these carps almost similar during their initial life stage. Thus, requiring
almost similar management at initial stage.
Aquatic weeds and insects were removed which harm the spawn of carps. Manuring
and fertilization was done to make the availability of natural food for feeding of spawn of
carps.
3.2.1.1. Aquatic Weeds and its Control
Aquatic weeds are the undesirable plant that grow in water and are more harmful than
beneficial for fish larvae. The growth of aquatic vegetation prevents the proper utilization of
water area and also reduces productivity. In Khairbana fish farm different aquatic weeds were
found which are grouped as:

3.2.1.2. Eradication of Aquatic Weeds
Aquatic plants are natural and important components of the aquatic environment.
Microscopic plants (algae) form the base of the aquatic food chain. Larger algae and plants
provide habitat for fish and food organisms, and all plants produce oxygen as they
photosynthesize during the daylight hours. However, excessive growths of these plants can
have a detrimental effect on a body of water and its inhabitants.
Some of the problems caused by aquatic weeds are as follows:
Restrict free movement of fry.
Cause obstruction during netting.
Limit living space for fish
Reduce sunlight penetration and nutrients
Hence, removal of aquatic weed is necessary for the better growth and survival rate of fish.
There are several methods of deweeding such as:-
1. Physical method - Weeds are removed manually
2. Biological method - Weeds can be controlled by stocking weed eating fishes
3. Chemical method - Weed control can also be achieved by the use of
herbicides such as 2, 4-D
We eradicated aquatic weeds by physical method which include -
Repeated netting by using drag net and then dumped all the weeds collected by
dragging at dyke of the pond.
We also removed weeds by hand picking.
Buffaloes were introduced into the pond to disturb the bottom soil which de-rooted
the aquatic weeds. De-rooted weeds were collected by using drag net.

For supplementary feeding, we used finely powdered mixture of Mustard oil cake and
Rice bran and artificial feed (approx. 1:1:1) for feeding the spawn of carps. For feeding equal
amount of rice bran and mustard oil cake and formulated feed (crude protein >21%) were
taken and mixed it properly by adding some amount of water and leave it for few hours for
soaking and next day spread it manually in pond.

3.2.3.2. Manuring
It was an application of organic and inorganic manures or chemical fertilizers in pond
which improve the plankton productivity. The Indian Major Carps at their early stages are
planktivorous. Sustained zooplankton population in a pond depends on a good phytoplankton
population, which is further ensured through adequate availability of major nutrients like
nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon, besides certain micronutrients in water. The in-situ
availability of these nutrients in pond sediment and water is often at low levels and need to be
added from external sources for sustaining good plankton growth.

3.2.3.3 Water and Soil Quality Parameters
Water & soil quality parameters were analyzed by both - Titration method & by using
Multi - parameter kit. For estimation of water and soil quality parameters sample was taken
weekly from our allotted pond. The collected samples were analyzed in Aquaculture
Laboratory, College of Fisheries, Kawardha. The different water quality parameters analyzed
are Temperature, Transparency, Dissolved Oxygen, Alkalinity, Hardness, pH. The soil
quality parameters analyzed are pH and Texture.
Collection of water and soil sample
Water sample was taken using DO bottle. For collection of water sample DO bottle
was taken inside water surface and mouth of bottle was closed slowly with stopper. Care was
taken during sampling to avoid the air bubbles. For Dissolved oxygen estimation collected
sample was kept in dark by covering the DO bottle with cloth. Water quality parameters were
analyzed using Multi-parameter analyzer kit and Titration method.
Soil sample was collected from our allotted pond. The samples were taken in a zigzag
pattern i.e. four samples from four corners of the pond and one sample from centre of the
pond. Collected soil samples are mixed, dried and crushed well before estimating the soil
quality parameters.
For analysis of biological parameters; both qualitative and quantitative estimation of
plankton was done. For collection of sample of plankton from our allotted pond, nearly 50
liters of water is filtered through plankton net.

4.1 Introduction
Clarias magur known as Magur is the most preferred indigenous catfish in India. It is
obligatory air breathing catfish, hardy species and an annual breeder which spawns during
monsoon months (June- August) in waterlogged areas. Fishes in the age group 1+ year
weighing 150g attain sexual maturity. Secondary sexual characters are more prominent
during the breeding season.
Clarias magur is a species of freshwater air breathing catfish native to Southeast Asia.
The body is mainly colored a gray or grayish brown in colour. This catfish has long-based
dorsal and anal fins as well as several pairs of sensory barbels. This fish normally lives in
slow-moving and often stagnant waters in ponds, rivers, swamps, pools, rice paddies, canals
and ditches. It is often found in stagnant waters left over after the rivers have been in flood, as
it is migratory during the wet season, moving into flooded areas from the main water bodies.
4.2 Site of Work
Magur breeding was done in Live Fish Laboratory, College of Fisheries, Kawardha.
4.3 Identification of Male and Female Brooders

After identification, male and female brooders were transferred to a tank and leave
them for some time for conditioning to be ready for hormone administration.
4.4 Hormone Administration
We injected the Female Magur with Ovatide (synthetic hormone), which contain
Gonadotropin releasing hormone an analogue (s - GnRHa). The hormone was administered
intramuscularly with the help of insulin needle. Doses of hormone was 0.5 ml/100gm of body
weight per female and in males, hormone was not administrated because they were sacrificed
and testis were taken out.

5.1 Overview on Ornamental Fish Production
Ornamental fish production globally is a multibillion dollar industry. Ornamental fish
keeping was initially considered as one of the attractive hobbies practiced in the developed
countries but recently it is gaining impetus in developing countries too. It is to be noted that
most of ornamental fishes have much higher value than food fishes and may provide a good
alternative livelihood for fishermen and fish farmers. About 600 ornamental fish species have
been reported worldwide from various aquatic environments.
Indian waters possess a rich diversity of ornamental fishes, with over 100 indigenous
species, in addition to a similar number of exotic species that are bred in captivity. Close to
98% of ornamental fish are captured in the wild by locals, for whom this is often the main
livelihood. In India’s Western Ghats, as well as the Amazon region in South America, there
are many species that are highly priced in the global market. In spite of having two hotspots
of biodiversity, India is way long back in the ornamental fish trade with an export worth US$
1.06 million during 2016 (UN data - 2017). Out of 274 freshwater fish species from north
eastern states only 32% of native fish are exported and among 287 freshwater species from
Western Ghats, only 114 species are exported.
India is endowed with a rich bio-diversity of 400 marine and 375 freshwater native
ornamental fishes. India’s overall domestic ornamental fish trade is worth about Rs. 15 crore
and exports worth Rs. 5.6 crore. About 80% of ornamental fishes from India are exported to
International Market via Kolkata Airport, of which major share comes from North Eastern
Region, which is endowed with diverse natural water bodies with an abundance (250 species)
of ornamental fishes. Other States leading in the trade are Kerala and Tamil Nadu. However,
there is vast unexplored potential for production of indigenous ornamental fishes and
promoting aquarium keeping in India. Scientific and systematic exploration of this potential
would provide rural employment to women SHGs, entrepreneurs and unemployed youth,
generate income, improve their livelihoods and also generate considerable foreign exchange.
The biggest exporter of ornamental fishes in the world is Singapore followed by Malaysia,
Indonesia and Czech Republic. The largest import markets for tropical fish are U.S.A, Japan,
Germany, UK, France, Singapore and others. 60.3% of the suppliers to these countries are
Asian countries.

5.2 Ornamental Fish Production in India
The popularity and high value of ornamental fish have placed ornamental fish
production among the leading cash crops in the aquaculture economy. Although, India is still
in a marginal position, its trade is developing rapidly. An estimate carried out by Marine
Products Export Development Authority of India shows that there are one million fish
hobbyists in India. The internal trade is estimated to be about Rs. 15 crores and the export
trade is in the vicinity of US$ 1.0 million. The annual growth rate of this trade is 14 per cent.
About 9 per cent of Indian export goes from Kolkata followed by 8 per cent from Mumbai
and 2 per cent from Chennai. A wide range of availability of species and favorable climate,
cheap labor and easy distribution make India and Tamil Nadu in particular, suitable for
ornamental fish culture. This is despite the country’s good tropical climate, varied freshwater
sources, a long coastline and varied freshwater ornamental fishes. However, the growing
demand for ornamental fishes and the growing awareness for farming would change this
scenario in India. (Source: MPEDA 2016)
5.3 Ornamental Fish Production in Chhattisgarh
More than 2.50 lakh fishermen in the Chhattisgarh depend on fisheries and
aquaculture for their livelihood. Fisheries sector occupies an important place in the socio-
economic development of the state. Ornamental fishery industry is in a nascent phase in
Chhattisgarh at present with almost negligible ornamental fish production. State is importing
ornamental fishes from West Bengal, Chennai and Mumbai etc.
5.4. Site of work
College of Fisheries, Kawardha has got a well-developed “LIVE FISH
LABORATORY”. It was established on 24th
March 2015. The lab comprises of 24 glass
aquariums and 12 FRP tanks. The laboratory has stocks of commercially important and
indigenous ornamental fishes.
5.5. Activities at Live Fish Laboratory, College of Fisheries, Kawardha
5.5.1. Routine maintenance of aquarium tanks
Ornamental fishes are highly susceptible and sensitive species. So, for better
management, we had started aquarium management under the guidance of Dr. Honnananda
B.R. (Assistant Professor) and In - Charge of Live Fish Laboratory. The management
practices followed are as follows :-
