Chanchra under Jashore district. The study period was May to August
2015. Data were collected through questionnaire interviews by using
personal interviews and participatory rural appraisal (PRA) tools. In
the study area, maximum spawn production of hatcheries was 2500 kg
and minimum 800 kg. About 50% brood fishes were collected from own
pond, 30% were collected from other’s hatcheries and rest of 20% were
collected from natural sources. The hatchery owners maintained proper age and weight of broods for spawning and followed the
guideline of hatchery operation so that the quality of spawn and fry
those produced by them were good in quality. It was found that the
hatcheries produced fish seed of a variety of species like Indian major
carps, carpio, sarpunti, silver carp, grass carp, magur, shing etc. The
hatchery production activities took place starting February and
continued up to September. The quantity of fish seed produce varied
from 25 to 75 kg per hatchling cycle depending on size and facilities of
hatcheries. The price of fry in Jashore was being fixed by the hatchery
owners. However, the price variation was seen due to seasonal
variation, species and demand. The average price of fish seed was
maximum in monsoon and minimum in winter. In general skilled
technicians were involved in hatchery operation. Some hatchery
owners were well experienced and operated their own hatcheries. The
hatcheries in Jashore district were viable. The hatchery owners had
improved their social status though hatchery income. | | Keywords : | | | hatcheries, Chanchra, Jashore district, Bangladesh |
