Abstract

The study was conducted to pave the way for expansion and maximize production through supply of quality seed of Chelon subviridis by means of development of sustainable nursery management technique of this important species in the vast coastal water bodies of Bangladesh. As a result, supply of this fish in both national and international markets will be increased. The study was conducted for the period of 3 month in the earthen ponds situated in the pond complex of Brackish water Station of Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute with different fertilizers to compare the efficacy of those fertilizers in the production of quality fry of C. subviridis.
