Stocking

• Acclimatization : It is done by mixing culture pond water with Fry’s container water gradually with fixed time interval to adjust temperature, salinity, P^H and others environmental parameter. In PL drums, aquarium aeration and larval feed should also be provided.

·         Stocking time: Early morning and late evening. when the pond water  temperature is low.

• Stocking density: After having pond preparation stocking density should  be 5-6 per Square meter or 200-250/ shotangsho.

Pond preparation:

Soil sampling:

For pond bottom preparation, soil samples are collected from the pond bottom and the dikes for pH and organic matter content analysis. Soil pH analysis is generally conducted to determine lime requirement. Soil samples are collected in a S or X-shaped pattern and only the top soil 0-15 cm is taken as sample to determine soil quality.

Site selection for pond

·      The proposed site should be free from trees, bush, rocks, and grasses and away from densely populated, industrial area.

·       The quality of soil (P^H   6.5-7.5) influences both water quality and productivity in a pond. The soil must also be suitable for dike construction. Avoiding sandy, muddy Black pirates, Pit forming and Acid sulphate soil. Sandy and muddy soils are not suitable for pond construction because of low water retention capacity.
