"GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF INDIAN MAJOR CARPS ON DIFFERENT FEED REGIMES WITH COST – BENEFIT ANALYSIS."
Abstract: “A study was conducted to establish and optimal methods under twofeeding regime (poultry waste and supplimental) for the culture of Indian major carps by comparing the growth patterns and to develop a cost efficient feed and feeding technique through cost benefit analysis for future use in Bangladesh. Static 5.00 mg/L dissolved oxygen content was the remarkable observation during the investigation period in both study ponds except March‟14 at treatment I and treatment II. The ponds were slightly alkaline with pH values ranged from 6-7 Hardness, alkalinity and ammonia showed narrow difference in their mean value. All of the water variables showed significant deference (P<0.05) excepting water temperature. The ten months investigation showed the average final weights (gm) of Labeo rohita, Catla catla, and Cirrhinus mrigala were 700±2.89 , 900±0.78, 700±1.55 at treatment-I and 170± 2.23, 235± 1.22 165±0.45 at treatment II respectively. Monthly mean weight gain (gm.) of the species were 1.2”
