- Abstract
The study was carried out to assess growth, production and economics of polyculture of fishes by composite fish culture system and traditional method of fish farming during five successive years 2013-2017 in Mebo, Ruksin and Pasighat block of East Siang district of Arunachal Pradesh. The results revealed that growth of silver carp, catla and grass carp was prominent over other fish species in Composite Fish Culture (CFC). Fish yield was recorded higher in CFC as compared to traditional fish farming system in all locations under study with the highest harvest of 23.9 q ha-1. In CFC an increment of fish harvest upto 123.5% was recorded. Gross avg. profit to the tune of Rs. 3, 56, 303 and Rs. 1, 61,221 per hectare were recorded from CFC and local practice with an avg. net profit of Rs. 2, 05,703 and Rs. 77,221 per hectare and avg. benefit-cost ratio of 2.37 and 1.92, respectively.
