    STUDIES ON CAPTIVE BREEDING OF OLIVE BARB, PUNTIUS SARANA (HAMILTON)

    Indian freshwater aquaculture has evolved itself from the stage of a domestic activity in the Eastern States of West Bengal and Orissa, to that of an industry, contributing to about one third of the total fish production of the country. The average national fish production levels from tanks and ponds have increased significantly from 600 kg/ha/yr during the 1970s to the present level of 2,200 kg/ha/yr. In the States like Andhra Pradesh, West Bengal, Punjab and Haryana the fish yield has increased even to 8,000 - 10,000 kg/ha. Demonstrations on intensive composite carp culture practices have shown a maximum production of 15, 000 kg/ha/yr (Jana and Jena, 2004).

    Aquaculture is at an exciting stage of development. World aquaculture production is increasing much more rapidly than animal husbandry and capture fisheries (Lucas, 2003).

    INDUCED BREEDING, FRY REARING AND EARLY GROWTH OF DECCAN MAHSEER, TOR KHVDREE (SYKES)
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) KANGKU OLIVER N. SANGMA., B.F.Sc.
    India is blessed with some of the worldâ s best game fishes like mahseer. In the past, these game fishes once attracted the attention of the best anglers and naturalists from several parts of the world. It is known as tiger in waters, because of the fight it musters to wriggle out of the hook. Fish of the genus Tor, commonly referred to as masheer, are important to most nations in the Asian region for biodiversity reasons and are also sought after as high-valued food and game fish (Ng, 2004). This mahseer also possess almost all the major qualities to occupy an important place in commercial fisheries, too. Keshavanath (2000) reported that mahseers are considered coldwater fishes, having a temperature range of 6-35'â C, some species such as T. khiidree (the Deccan mahseer) can thrive and grow well in coastal region at temperature ranging between 25 and 32°C (Basavaraja et al., 2006). Work conducted on feed formulation, nutrient requirement and preservation of spermatozoa of T. khiidree at College of Fisheries, Mangalore has shown that this species could be successfully grown even at 28- 32°C (Gogoi and Keshavanath, 1990; Bazaz and Keshavanath, 1993; Basavaraja et al., 2002).

    EFFECT OF VARYING LEVELS OF BIOGUT ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF TOR KHVDREE (SYKES) AND CYPRINUS CARPIO (LINN.) FINGERLINGS

    India is the sixth largest producer of fish (6.4 million tonnes) in the world and also holds second position in inland fish production (3.4 million tonnes). The fisheries sector contributes 19.56 billion rupees to the national income which is 1.2 percent of the total Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 4.2 percent of the agricultural GDP of India (Ayyappan and Biradar, 2004). India, with a total aquaculture production of about 2.22 million tonnes (5.2%), is ranked second in world aquaculture production, next only to China (68%). About 95 percent of Indiaâ s aquaculture production has been reported through inland aquaculture. The per capita consumption of fish also increased from 5 kg to 16 kg during the last 50 years (Ayyappan and Bi radar, 2004).

    EFFECT OF DIETARY MICROBIAL PHYTASE SUPPLEMENTATION ON GROWTH, SURVIVAL, AND BODY COMPOSITION OF MACROBRACHIUM ROSENBERGII (DE MAN)
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2006) SHARANAPPA BIRADAR B.F.Sc
    The intensive exploitation of capture fishery resources has lead to almost stagnation in its production. There is a large gap between the capture fish production and the ever increasing demand for fish. Hence, aquaculture is considered as one of the best alternative means to meet the demand and potential area to tackle the challenges of food security, economy and employment generation in developing countries.

    EFFECT OF CHITIN ON IMMUNE RESPONSE, GROWTH AND SURVIVAL OF GIANT FRESHWATER PRAWN, MACROBRACHIUM ROSENBERGII (DE MAN)
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2008) NAVEENKUMAR B.T. B.F.Sc
    Aquaculture is one of the fastest-growing food producing sectors in the world. The production has increased at an average rate of 9.2% per year since 1970, where as the production from capture fisheries has increased at the rate of 1.4% per year (FAO, 2002) . Among the several cultivable finfish and shellfishes, giant freshwater prawn {Macrobrachium rosenbergii De Man, 1879), belonging to the family Palaeomonidae under the order Decapoda, forms an important species of interest. Recently farming of freshwater prawn has dramatically increased especially during the last decade when shrimp culture suffered a major setback due to repeated outbreak of viral diseases by viruses. This species exhibits the necessity of varying salinity levels to complete its life cycle, it has been found in waters ranging from 0 to 18% salinity and hence this species can be considered as suitable to culture in fresh waters and brackish waters. Rapid global expansion of freshwater prawn farming was started from 1995 (New, 2005), Mainly because of major contribution by Asian countries, especially from China. Among the top 15 producers of Macrobrachium rosenbergii, India secures third position with an annual production of 24, 230 mt, where as China (128 338 mt) and Viet Nam (28 000 mt) occupy the first and second places respectively (FAO 2003) . India has a vast resources for freshwater prawn farming in inland as well as in brackish water area. About 5.4 million ha freshwater resources are found to be suitable for freshwater prawn farming. Presently, scampi is cultured in about 40,000 ha with an annual production of 35,000 tones in India. Among the various states in India, Andhra Pradesh alone produced 27000 mt (Anonymous, 2003a) as compared to 400 mt in 1998.

    EFFECT OF BREWERS YEAST ON GROWTH,SURVIVAL AND IMMUNE RESPONSE IN LABEO ROHITA
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2007) Amir Mohseni, B.Eng.F
    Nutrition and health management play a key role for successful aquaculture. Intensive exploitation of capture fishery resources has lead to almost stagnation in its production. There is a wide gap between the capture fish production and the ever increasing demand for fish. Hence, aquaculture is considered as one of the best alternative means to meet the demand and potential area to tackle the challenges of food security, economy and employment generation in developing countries
