Abstract

A multilocational trial on composite fish culture (CFC) was carried out to evaluate growth, yield and economic analysis of fish culture during three successive years 2010–2012 in East Siang District of Arunachal Pradesh, India. The study revealed that growth of silver carp and catla is better than that of other fish species in CFC. Fish yield was more in CFC than the traditional fish farming system in all locations under study with the highest harvest of 20.6 q ha-1. An increment of fish harvest up to 114 % was recorded by adopting CFC. Gross profit to the tune of Rs. 2, 62,233 and Rs. 1, 25,500 per hectare were recorded from CFC and local practice with a net profit of Rs. 1, 44,067 and Rs. 61,700 per hectare and benefit-cost ratio of 2.21 and 1.96 respectively.
