Abstract

The availability of quality seed is the prerequisite for rapid expansion and growth of aquaculture. Fingerling size fish seeds are always in great demand for any type of aquaculture operations. In absence of nursery ponds, the concrete tank fertilized with poultry manure may be one of the alternatives to the rural farmers to increase the survival percentage and growth of fish fry in order to stock their fish ponds with quality fish fingerlings for augmenting fish production. The study highlights the importance of optimum doses of poultry manure, favourable water quality and optimal density of plankton population for higher survival and growth in fish seed nursing. In the changing climate scenario, the environment friendly integrated fish farming with poultry may be one of the best options for improving the fish seed production in Meghalaya and other hilly region of the northeast India.
