A study was undertaken to determine the effect of different dietary protein levels on growth, survival and production of Mystus cavasius (Hamilton-Buchanan 1822) with three experimental diets containing 29%, 32% and 35% protein level applied simultaneously to three treatments T1, T2 and T3 respectively each with three replications. The stocking density (1, 11, 150/ha), initial weight (3.00±00 g) and length (2.00±0.00 cm) of fish were same for all the treatments. No significant (P>0.05) difference was found for the mean values of water quality parameters. A suitable range of water quality parameters were recorded with the environment of experimental ponds. In terms of growth, production and survival, relatively highest performance was found in the treatment T3. After 180 days of rearing, average weight gain was 29.16±0.43 g, 31.17±0.30 g and 37.44±0.32 g with the above three different feeds, respectively. The average daily gain (ADG) and specific growth rate (SGR) of all treatments showed significant difference (P<0.05) and the highest value (0.21±0.04 and 1.43±0.01%) was found with the 35% dietary protein level containing diet. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) improved with increase of dietary protein. The findings of FCR were 2.97±0.02 at 29% protein level (T1), 2.64±0.02 at 32% protein level (T2) and 2.20±0.01 at 35% protein level (T3). The results of protein efficiency ratio (PER) values were fairly similar of 1.17±0.02 and 1.18±0.01 for 29% and 32% protein level containing diets respectively indicating low efficiency and the highest efficiency (1.30±0.01) was found with 35% protein level. The findings of condition factor in different treatments for Mystus cavasius were not significantly (P>0.05) varied with the treatments. Calculated values of condition factor were 1.04±0.00, 1.03±0.03 and 1.09±0.05 in treatment T1, T2 and treatment T3, respectively. In pond culture, the performance of treatment T3 was found to be better than the treatment T1 and T2. The production was of 3616±16.74 kg/ha in T3 during the culture period of six months. The best cost benefit ratio (CBR) value (1.98±0.02) was also found with treatment T3. The 35% dietary protein level with treatment T3 resulted in best growth performance and was probably adequate to meet the dietary protein needs of Mystus cavasius (Hamilton-Buchanan, 1822). Asian J.

“…Assessment made on 180 day of cultivation period showed rapid reduction of O. mossambicus fry and fingerling population and continued throughout cultivation period, indicates predatory impact of C. chitala. Similar kinds of phenomenon also reported where C. chitala significantly reduced O. niloticus population [33]. Instead of that, possibilities of cannibalism by O. mossambicus adult male population for quantitative reduction of larval population cannot be ruled out [38].…”

“…In the 2 nd year of the study, the farmers were asked to introduce Chitala (C. chitala) at the rate 800 number of fingerlings (average 22 gm body weight) /ha, along with IMC fingerlings in Gosai Bundh again in 2019 and this time it was considered as Treatment 2 (T2). Stocking density of C. chitala has been maintained below the suggested quantity as mentioned by [33] for an O. niloticus based polyculture system. In T2, similar quality, quantity and species combinations of IMC were maintained, as done in T1.…”

“…Several attempts made worldwide mainly focused on controlling excessive recruitment of O. niloticus in aquaculture ponds by using predatory fish species in various countries to enhance sustainability and economic viability. Through checking excessive recruitment of O. niloticus by predatory Tor putitora, composite carp culture became more profitable in Nepal [32,33] found C. chitala and O. niloticus polyculture profitable with an ideal prey and predator relationship establishment in a freshwater pond environment in Bangladesh. However, the application of C. chitala as a biocontrol agent to control recruitment of O. mossambicus population in an IMC-based composite carp culture environment has not yet been reported.…”

Aims: Pond-based carp production in the Purulia district in West Bengal, India is confronted with several challenges. This study aimed to establish an alternative semi-intensive carp production method for the district by addressing an endemic challenge i.e. recruitment of O. mossambicus, through an endangered (EN) and native predatory fish, Chitala chitala. Study Design: Present study has been conducted on two numbers of perennial water resources with 1 ha effective area; where annual production of Indian Major Carps (IMC) and impact of O. mossambicus and C. chitala on the same culture system have been compared. Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted in farm conditions from 2018 to 2020, in two freshwater earthen ponds, Gosai Bundh (N23.47737/E86.79032) and Bara Notun Bundh (N23°46439/E86°65080), at Uluberia village under Kashipur Block of Purulia district in West Bengal, India. Methodology: Stocking density of Indian Major Carp (IMC) fingerlings was maintained at 8000 numbers (4:3:3 ratio of catla : rohu : mrigala) per ha (T1). After getting contaminated by O. mossambicus, wild C. chitala juveniles have been introduced in the similar facility (T2). Results of T1 and T2 were compared with control pond (C) containing IMC only. Recruitment of O. mossambicus and growth performance of C. chitala and IMCs determined periodically and annually. Results: Increasing growth of C. chitala showed contrasting impact over O. mossambicus fry recruitment. Survival percentage of C. chitala remains high in T2. While, poorest growth performance of IMCs have been observed in T1. Among IMC’s C. catla showed best survivality in every experimental ponds. Conclusion: Excessive recruitment of the O. mossambicus population can be controlled by C. chitala in a pond-based IMC culture system.

“…The knowledge of fish reproduction is the most important in sustainable fisheries management, as well as to sustain fish processing business especially in Barito Kuala District. Numerous studies closely related to the featherback have been devoted to describe on reproductive biology [13,32,33], fecundity [6,34,35], genetic [36,37], length-weight relationship and condition factor [15,38], feeding habits [39,40], the age and growth [41], population dynamics [19], culture strategy [42,43] and conservation measures for this species [20,44]. In addition, Wibowo and Marson [37] reported that morphometric and meristic of N. chitala from Barito River, South Kalimantan were similar to those of C. lopis and N. notopterus from Kampar River, Riau Province, but genetically different from each other.…”

Barito Kuala District is the largest producer of the featherback (Notopterus chitala) in South Kalimantan Province, Indonesia. It contributes about 42.29% of total regional fisheries production. Recently, supply and demand of raw material for fish chips processing business is completely dependent on the catch from the rivers. Ironically the capture fishery production for featherback tends to decline, which absolutely affecting on production volume and selling expense of the fish products. No commercial aquaculture supports this business, so far. Data on capture fishery, fish processing business and fish farming were tabulated and analyzed using descriptive method. There was a great market opportunity for featherback chips in this area of study, where the demand of fish chips (36 tons/year) was six times higher than the supply to the market (6 tons/year). The average annual profit received by the producer was USD 897. The Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Net Benefit Cost Ratio (Net B/C) were USD 2,796, 137%, and 4.59 with the Payback Period (PP) value was 8 months 15 days, indicating business was considered feasible and profitable, as well as has the favorable prospect. To increase the values, the culture business should be promoted. An attempt was made by Freshwater Fish Culture Center Mandiangin to culture them; however, the result are still being challenged to overcome this problem. The ideal interconnection of the three key issues was further discussed.
