“…Semi -intensive operations (livestock and poultry) employ intermediate levels of stocking and other inputs. The intensive production (fish cultivation) system is characterized by relatively high stocking and high inputs ( Shang and Tisdell,1997;Shang et al,;. A total of 3000 entrepreneurs, among them 10 per cent sample were collected in each group.…”

“…The gher area during 1975 was 20,000 ha which has increased to 141,000 ha during 2000 (BBS, 1975(BBS, , 2002. The cost of production of shrimp (US$ 4/kg) in Bangladesh is one of the highest in Asia but the net profit from shrimp is 12 times higher than that of high yielding variety (HYV) of rice (Shang et al, 1998). This high profit in shrimp farming is responsible for changes in the land-use pattern in the coastal districts of the country (Hossain et al, 2004).…”

ABSTRACT. The profitability of rearing larval asp, Aspius aspius (L.), ide, Leuciscus idus (L.), and dace, Leuciscus leuciscus (L.), was assessed in a system of 12 aquaria with a combined volume of 600 dm 3 .Two feeding variants were used: a) natural feed exclusively; b) natural feed plus formulated feed after seven days of rearing. All rearing variants were profitable and posed relatively low financial risks. The variant in which only natural feed was used was the most profitable. The savings incurred by the addition of formulated feed did not offset the profit lost from lower larval stock survival rates. In light of profitability, the most important aspect of larval rearing was the price of the stocking material, which was 250% higher for asp than for ide or dace. In both feeding variants, asp rearing was the most profitable and the values of the indices used to describe profitability were the best.
