Resource productivity and economic performance of producing fish seeds in government and private fanns in Bangladesh
The effect of various factors on spawn and fingerlings production in government andprivate farms was measured in this study. Primary data were collected from 45 privateand 11 government farms from 9 selected districts covering major fish seed producingareas of Bangladesh. Results from Cobb-Douglas production function analysis indicatedthat the included variables had some positive impacts on returns from spawn andfingerlings. No input was found to be over used and increasing returns to scale wasobserved. Tabular analysis indicated that higher amount of input use produced higherlevel of yield, gross return and net return. The government farms were under utilized.For increased supply of fish seeds in the country more amount of specified inputs (feedand fertilizer) should be used for producing spawn and fingerlings especially ingovernment farms.
