A polyculture experiment involving Indian
Major Carps - rohu (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla), mrigal
(Cirrhinus mrigala); exotic carps- silver carp
(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix), grass carp
(Ctenopharyngodon idella), common carp (Cyprinus carpio);
and self recruiting small indigenous fish mola
(Amblypharyngodon mola), punti (Puntius sophore) and chela
(Samlmostoma bacaila) was carried out in the earthen ponds
of 100 m2
at 24 South Parganas, West Bengal, India. The
main objective was to study net flesh biomass production
from unit area of pond by incorporating small indigenous
fish of regional demand and enhance economic return per
unit area of pond with diversified culture of small indigenous
fish. Fifteen ponds, each of size 100 m2
, were prepared as per
the standard management practice followed for composite
fish culture. Four treatments in triplicate were tested. T-1
was with carps and mola, T-2 was with carps and puntius
and T-3 was with carps and chela. Carp seeds (rohu, catla,
mrigal, silver carp, grass carp, common carp) were stocked
@10,000 no. per ha while small indigenous fish species viz.
A. mola, P. sophore and S. bacaila were collected from wild
and reared separately before introducing into the carp
culture ponds @ 20,000 no. per ha. Treatment (T-4) was used
as control. In T-4 conventional carp species were reared.
Experimental trials were conducted for six months. At the
end of the experiment, the net benefit calculated per ha area
turned out to be Rs. 1,393 565.50, 1,03043, 58,740.50 and 1,
07185 in the treatments 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.
It was observed that though production per ha in T- 4 was
maximum (2031.43 kg) but net profit was maximum in T- 1
which contained carps and the small indigenous fish, mola.
The experiment clearly indicates that integration of high
priced small indigenous fish to the conventional carp culture
is a viable proposition as it provides additional income
without effecting production of carps and the model will
provide additional source of income to small-scale farmers.
Specifically, integration of mola in polyculture of carps may
be a better option as it has ensured higher production of
nutritionally rich mola and also from economic point of view
this system is encouraging for rural people because they
would get mola regularly for consumption and carps as cash
crop.
