Culture potentials of mola (Amblypharyngodon mola ), chela (Chela cachius) and punti (Puntius sophore) under monoculture system
To assess the production potentials of small indigenous fish species (SIS) in semi-intensivemonoculture system, an experiment was carried out with Amblypharyngadanmala, Chela cachius and Puntius sophore. Three treatments each with three replicationswere tested with mola, chela and punti individually and the stocking density of eachspecies was 100,000/ha. Organic fertilizer was applied to the ponds at the rate of 1,000kg/ha at fortnightly and rice bran was supplemented daily at 3% of the total fish biomass.Partial harvesting was made after three months of stocking. Gross production of805±52.94, 1,120±41.62 and 509±48.81 kg/ha, respectively for mola, chela and puntiover a period of six months were obtained. The yield of punti was found to varysignificantly (P < 0.05) from that of mola and chela.
