Abstract
A Field study was conducted to find out the optimum yield and
profitability by the culture of Pungasianidon hypophthalmus at two stocking
density. The purpose of this study is to compare the growth performance at
different stocking density in earthen pond at two locations of Chitrakoot
district of UP, India. The study was conducted to evaluate the yield, growth
and net income of pangasius as well as the stocking density for optimum growth
in earthen. There are two study locations, the cultivable area was 0.1 ha and
0.25 each pond at KVK, Ganiwan in Pahadi Block and Village Itwa in Ramnagar
Block. Average body weight was 4.95 and 5.0 gm fish were stocked at 5 and 1.6
individuals per sqm at KVK and Farmers field respectively and feeded with
commercial feed. The result indicated that the growth performance were 207 gm
in 244 days at site 1(KVK) and 640 gm at site 2 (Farmers field) with specific
growth rate (%) of 1.667 and 1.989 respectively. The FCR was found 1.19 for
both the culture site.The obtained results indicated that the best growth
performance of Pangas was found in Site 2 when stocked with 1.6 individuals
/Sqm. The B: C ratio of total fish production was1.23 and 1.48 at site 1 and
site 2 respectively. The economic performance indicated that the maximum
benefit can be taken stocking of pungas seed @20000 fingerling/ha at minimum
cost. The per Kg production cost is higher at site-1 than Site -2 i.e. Rs.97.37
and 81.25 respectively.
