Fish play an important role in the nutrition of people in India. Per capita availability of fish in the country is 9.5 kg with production at 5.8 million tonnes during 1999-2000. This production level makes India the second largest aquaculture producing country in the world, China is the leading ...

With a view to closing the nutrient loop between sanitation and fish culture, advanced fry of different species of fish (rohu, bata, mrigal, common carp, tilapia, punti) and larvae of freshwater prawn were reared in twelve experimental tanks in a mixed culture system for 120 days using three...

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a major foodborne pathogen responsible for significant economic losses in aquaculture and a threat to human health. Here, we explored the incidence, virulence potential, and diversity of V. parahaemolyticus isolates from aquaculture farms in Bangladesh. We examined a...

This technical paper provides a comprehensive review of on-farm feeding and feed management practices in aquaculture. It comprises of (a) ten case studies on feeding and feed management practices carried out in seven selected countries of Asia and Africa for eight species that belong to four major...

The application of a capacity-building and income-generating approach by community-based aquaculture in underutilized waterlogged areas in Noakhali, Bangladesh, is presented. The study are is described as well as the collection of data regarding climatic characteristics, farming system and...

Giant freshwater prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) were cultured with Indian carps (Catla catla and Labeo rohita) in a 0.42 ha pond. 10-days-old prawn seeds were stocked at 8000/ha while 12-15 cm catla and rohu fingerlings were stocked at 1200/ha each in the pond. It was observed that the size...

Giant freshwater prawn (GFP), Macrobrachium rosenbergii, is a tropical species widely cultured in several countries across the world. It has high market demand accompanied by attractive prices. The global farmed production of this species in 2018 was 237,124 tonnes (t) valued over 1.93 billion USD. ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of all-male, mixed-sex and all-female freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in a polyculture with major carps (Catla catla and Labeo rohita) and self-recruiting small fish molas (Amblypharyngodon mola) in the fallow rice fields of Bangladesh....
