Amur carp is a bottom feeder and can suitably substitute mrigal. It is a genetically improved common carp with a slender body, late maturing and grows faster than Mrigal i.e. 700-800 gm within 1st 5-6 months) in the first year of their culture. So it should be included with major carps for increasing income.

Many Farmers are awared & interested in practising this type of culture practice in place of traditional Major Carp culture through participation in Training & Demonstration programmes conducted by KVK.

6.

Performance of the Technology with performance indicators

Cost of intervention, additional income over additional investment, B:C ratio

7.

Final recommendation for micro level situation

The herbal formulation works better comparison to treatment with supplementation of vitamin and mineral to overcome of infertility conditions as well as costs less compared to commercial allopathic medications

8.

Constraints identified and feedback for research

Farmers were not aware about the herbal remedied for infertility treatment. They are completely dependent upon commercial allopathic medications.

9.

Process of farmers participation and their reaction

Instead of treatment with allopathic medications the conception rate is very low, hence farmers showed interest for herbal medication.

Assessment of stocking density of Puntius gonionotus (Java Punti) in composite fish culture system

2.

Problem diagnosed

  • Lack of knowledge on proper stocking density resulting disease susceptibility
  • Improper utilization of pond biotic potential.
  • Extensive method of culture practice resulting low yield

Incorporation of Puntius gonionotus @ 10 % or 1000 no./ha in the Major Carp system i.e.  (C:R:M) @ 10000 no. /ha  and culture for 5-6 months increases yield 67.21 % over farmers practice leading to maximization of profit.

8.

Constraints identified and feedback for research

Non availability of quality seed in proper time, Non adoption of scientific techniques by farmers. Though this species is compatible for culture with IMC with short duration culture period and can be reached to marketable size within 5-6 months. So it should be included with major carps for increasing income.

9.

Process of farmers participation and their reaction

Many Farmers are awarded & interested in practising this type of mixed carp culture system along with diversified fish species like minor carps in place of conventional single Carp culture method through participation in Training & Demonstration programmes conducted by KVK.
