“…B/C ratio was found to be 1.37. Similar study was carried out in Fish Super zone area of Dhanusha district and the B/C ratio obtained was 1.69 and in Chitwan district, Nepal the B/C ratio for fish farming was found to be 1.63 (Sharma et al, 2018;Subedi et al, 2019). This shows that the fish farming in the study area was profitable.…”

Aquaculture is an important agriculture sector in Dhanusha district with the involvement of large number of farming community. An interview-based questionnaire survey of 45 randomly selected fish farmers and 13 fish traders in fish block area of Dhanusha district, Nepal was carried out to appraise current situation of Production and marketing system of fish farming during the period of February to April, 2020. Majority of the farmers (86.76%) had done fish farming as main occupation and was found to be profitable with the average productivity of 5.53 Mt/ha/year and B/C ratio of 1.37. Most of the farmers were practicing carp polyculture however, monoculture and integrated fish farming was also found to be done by few respondents. Fish produced were sold in local market, adjacent districts and also to distant markets. The findings showed that traders were involved in marketing system of fish of which 59.65% of the total was sold to the wholesalers, 30.49% to the retailers and 9.87% was sold directly to the consumers. Commonly used means of transportation were bicycle, motorbike and pickup vans. The study also revealed that farmers were facing several problems like lack of technical knowhow, untimely availability of feed and other inputs, disease and water quality problem, lack of well managed commodity market, poor storage facilities etc. which needs to be addressed to enhance the fish production and marketing efficiency in the study area.

“…Furthermore, research conducted by [24] examined the economics of fish farming in the Nepalese district of Dhanusha and discovered that the BC ratio there was 1.69, which is rather higher than in our study. Therefore, using highquality, protein-rich feed types that improved fish production was the primary factor in such high values.…”

A total sample of 60 respondents was examined, 30 from Santanagar and 30 from Fulkahakatti in the Dhangadhimai region, selected randomly and proportionately from March to June 2022.Utilizing a fundamental irregular examining approach essential information was assembled through a pre-tested semi-structured survey, while secondary data was obtained through a review of literature relevant to the research topic MS Excel and SPSS-25 were utilized to analyze information including simple descriptive statistical measurements and ordering techniques. The typical total cost of production was found to be Rs 8,98,085.7 with variable costs representing 87.2% and fixed costs representing simply 12.8%. The exploration region's typical fish yield (5340.24 kg/ha) is more prominent than the national average (4300.28 kg/ha) and district average (4800 kg/ha). Numerous production issues were accounted for by respondents, including late inputs supply, a deficiency of quality fingerlings, unreasonable input costs, irresistible diseases and pests, and an absence of proper adequate training. Notwithstanding these issues, fish production is an effective industry with a high gross edge with Benefit-cost ratio 1.51. This suggests that although fish farming is a profitable business in the Dhangadhimai municipality, several policy implications may encourage it even more. To address these difficulties, a variety of policies need to be implemented, including control of fish markets, the supply of governmental subsidies, the provision of extension services, encouraging the engagement of women, and the provision of essential high-quality inputs.

“…Poot-López et al (2010) obtained a considerable reduction in management and operating costs, with no negative effect on growth, by partially substituting a balanced diet fed to O. niloticus with tree spinach (Cnidoscolus chayamansa) waste at satiety. According to Subedi et al (2019), the minimization of costs in aquaculture resulting from the substitution of FM by SBM would allow for optimization of the cost-benefit ratio when scaling up production to commercial scale based on bio-economic models of tropical fish production that indicate that food represents the most significant expense in aquaculture (Okwu & Acheneje 2011, Hernández et al 2014.…”

Groups of Dormitator latifrons in triplicate (4.1 ± 2.0 g and 6.2 ± 1.0 cm) were fed experimental diets containing four levels of substitution of fishmeal (FM) by soybean meal (SM) (0, 40, 70, and 100%, respectively). The diets were formulated to be isoproteic (35% crude protein) and isolipidic (8.0% crude lipids). The effect of each treatment on growth was evaluated and its implications on the cost of feeding. After 60 days of feeding, there were no significant differences in the fish's proximate composition (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the diets (P < 0.05) in the evaluated biological indices: total growth increase (TGI), specific growth rate (SGR), thermal growth coefficient (TGC), and survival (%). Feeding costs decreased significantly as the proportion of soybean meal in the diet increased. The results indicated that substituting FM by up to 100% of SM can promote adequate growth in D. latifrons without affecting body composition and survival while also reducing operative costs during the fattening process.
