The survey was conducted in Kholpatua river from January 2014 to December 2014 and was compared with the ten years old secondary data. The results showed that there was a 41.57% decrease in number of catches ofP. monodon PL. over the course of time from ten years ago to the year of 2014. Although the number of active fishermen＇s boats have increased from 250 to 360 in ten years. The study also showed that the severe shrimp seed collection activities reduced the availability ofP. monodon PL. at Satkhira district, which has a severe negative impact on the availability of total catches. To control such decrease of P. monodon PL. in Bangladesh, more intensive study should be done.展开更多

Five diets including 4 experimental and one control diet were considered. Experimental diets of post-larvae were developed from unconventional ingredients in which fishmeal was completely replaced by a mixture of brewer’s yeast, chicken viscera and maggots. These foods were tested on Clarias gariepinus post-larvae with an initial average weight of 80 ± 1 mg. 1500 fish individuals were equally distributed in 15 concrete basins with a volume of 500 L forming five treatments in triplicate. Fish individuals were fed, manually at a ration rate of 20%, four times per day. The specific growth rates were 8.38%/day in imported food and 6.35%/day in the experimental food receiving 45.5% of protein from unconventional meal. Similar results were obtained with the feed consumption index. These encouraging results show that it is possible to partially or completely replace fishmeal in catfish feed and obtain an economically profitable production. The recovery of waste such as chicken viscera, brewer’s yeast and soybean meal in fish food formulation as tested in this study is a good contribution to environmental sanitation.展开更多
