Abstract
A field study was conducted to find out the production cost and return
of culture of Pangasius hypophthalmus at two locations in the district. The
purpose of this assessment is to compare the Yield and income at different
input level in earthen pond at two locations of Chitrakoot district of UP,
India. The assessment was conducted to evaluate the yield and net income of
pangasius at different feeding level in earthen tank. There are three study
locations, the cultivable area was 0.1ha containing one pond at KVK, Center (Site-1)
and two ponds (Site-2 and Site -3) of 0.1 ha each in Village hardauli of Pahadi
Block. The average body weight of fingerling of 5.0gm were stocked at 4
individuals per sqm at KVK and Farmers field respectively and feed with
commercial available feed. The result indicated that the growth performance
were 257.1 gm in 273 days at site 1(KVK), 675.25 gm at site 2 and 650.22gm at
site 3 (Farmers field) with specific growth rate (%) of 1.443, 1.797 and 1.782
respectively. The FCR was found 1.41 at KVK site, and 1.27 at farmers field
(Site-1) and 1.30 at Farmers field (Site-2) culture site. The obtained results
indicated that the best growth performance of Pangas was found at Site (1) when
feed with Higher quantity of feed I.e. 49800 kg which was more than site -2
that is 45120 Kg feed during culture period. The B:C ratio of total fish
production was1.57at KVK site-1, and,1.48 and 1.43 at Farmers field (Site-2)
and (Site-3) respectively. The economic performance indicated that the maximum
benefit can be taken by feeding of optimum quantity of feed to be applied at
specific interval at minimum cost. The per Kg production cost is higher at KVK
site was Rs.76.48 than Farmers pond (Site-1) and (Site-2) i.e. Rs.60.98 and 62.98
Per kg respectively. The farmers Applying higher quantity of feed 18.24 and 16.52
Kg feed per day and getting more production and income where KVK site-1 applied
4.73 Kg feed per day resulting low yield.
