| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted in three rectangular earthen ponds of the size of 0.026 ha, 0.034 ha and 0.03 ha with 0.75±0.10 m water depth. Four species of carps namely, Labeo rohita, Catla catla, Cirrhinus mrigala and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix at the ratio of 80 : 6 : 8 : 6 in pond 1, six species of carps namely Catla catla, Labeo rohita, Cirhinus mrigala, Hypophthalmichthys molitrix, Ctenopharyngodon idella and Cyprinus carpio at the ratio of 20 : 25 : 15 : 15 : 15 : 10 : 15 in pond 2 and three Indian major carps namely Catla catla, Labeo rohita and Cirrhinus mrigala at the ratio of 40 : 30 : 30 were stocked @ 10,000/ha. Raw cattle dung @ 15000 kg/ha/yr and lime @ 200 kg/ha/yr were applied in split doses in all the three experimental ponds. The rearing period was 8 months. The fish were given pelletized feed daily @ 3-5 per cent of their body weight. No drastic deviation from the acceptable range of water quality parameters was recorded. Fish growth were recorded in all the three experimental ponds. The plankton volume in ponds increased gradually towards the end of the study. Hundred per cent survival of fish was observed in ponds 1 and 2 and 83.3 per cent in ponds 3. Production to the tune of 74.32 kg (4,280 kg/ha/yr), 131.72 kg (5,677 kg/ha/yr), 84.49 kg (4,141 kg/ha/yr) could be obtained from ponds 1, 2 and 3, respectively. Net profit of Rs. 1,20,431.13 (4 species), Rs.1,38,053.03 (6 species) and Rs. 1,11,967.00 (3 species) were obtained from the experimental ponds. It is inferred that from the biomass point of view 6 species combination is preferable but from the monetary point of view 4 species combination is recommended. The present study revealed that various species combination based carp farming systems in Tarai region of Uttaranchal are profitable and sustained. | en_US |
