| dc.description | Bangladesh is an agro-based development country because of striving hard for the rapid
development of its economy. Fisheries is one of the major sub-sector in the agricultural
sectors and plays a vital role in the socio-economic development of the rural area, in
fulfilling the animal protein demand, creating employment opportunity, alleviating poverty
and creating a foreign exchange for the country (Ahmed, 1997). This sector contributes
about 3.57% of the national GDP (DoF, 2018). The amount of fish production was 41.37
lakh MT in the fiscal year 2016-17 in Bangladesh (DoF, 2018). Fish provides about 60%
animal protein and 11% of people involves in the fisheries sector for their livelihood.
Bangladesh earned 4287.68 million Tk. as export revenue from fisheries sector in 2016-17
(DoF, 2018). Now-a-day, Eels are a valuable export item and also an alternative economic
option for poor people. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The experiment was carried out to observe the water quality parameters and growth
performance of the freshwater mud eel, Monopterus cuchia at Uthrail union of Sadar
upzila under Dinajpur district for six months in different ditches namely as T1, T2 and T3.
Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replication in each treatment was
differentiated at significant level 0.05. Stocking density, feed and fertilization were same
for each treatment. The average weights (gm) of the freshwater mud eel, M. cuchia in
three treatments were was 316.7±1.8, 403.4±1.4 and 416±1.3, while an average length
(cm) was 71.15±1.02, 73.07±0.59 and 75.13±0.88. It also found that the body weight (gm)
gain was 221.05± 1.2, 305±0.9 and 318±1.5 while the body length (cm) gain was
16.87±0.8 cm, 17.61±1.2 cm and 18.02±1.09 cm at T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The
survival rate was observed maximum (99%) at T2 and minimum was found (60%) at T1.
From the study, it can be observed that the highest growth performance of Monopterus
cuchia was found in the normal ditch (T3) but survival rate was the lowest. On the basis of
survival rate and growth performance, it is suggested that T2 is suitable for the culture of
freshwater mud eel, M. cuchia | en_US |
