Introduction to Fisheries and Aquaculture Technologies
9. Integrated Duck cum Fish Farming
oI. Contact division/person/unit Freshwater Station, Bangladesh Fisheries Research
Institute, Mymensingh.
02. Location of application In any pond which is not flood prone.
03. Key characteristics of the a. Produces enough fish food organisms in the pond
technology because of discharge of fresh duck manure.
b. No supplementary feed is necessary for fish.
c. Minimize space through construction of duck shed
over the pond.
d. Maximize production with minimum land & inputs.
04. Production guidelines
Pond selection and preparation a. Perennial pond is preferred. Dyke should be repaired,
liming @ 1 to 1.S kg/decimal is done & predators are
controlled.
Stocking b. @ 6000 fingerlings (S-IO ern size)/ha. Ratio of
different carps in the population are surface feeder
40%, column feeder 30% and bottom feeder 30%.
Construction of duck shed a. The recommended floor space for one duck is 2.1 sq.
meter. Wide space 111 between slits of floor to
facilitate duck manure dropping into the pond.
b. Duck house height should be 1.2-1.Sm from the floor.
Duck rearing a. Type of duck should be khaki cembell/Indian runner.
b. Density SOO/haof pond.
c. Feeding with supplementary feed.
OS. Risk involvement and a. Theft of duck/fish to be checked.
management in adopting the b. Flooding should be checked.
technology
06. Impact of environment a. No adverse effect on aquatic environment.
b. Recycling of duck dropping into fish food organisms
keep the pond soil and water quality intact.
07. Procedure of transfer a. Training.
b. Demonstrations.
c. Extension services.
OS. Expected outcome a. Increase fish production and income generation.
b. Help in rural economy and development.
Benefit and cost involvement Total cost: Tk. 1,66,SIS/ha.
Total income: Tk. 3,27,326/ha.
Net Benefit: Tk. 1,60,SII/ha.
[ 09. Recommendations This technology should be transferred to the rural
poor through GOINGO agencies.
