Economics of pond fish culture under BRAC supervision in Mymensingh, Bangladesh
This study examines the relative profitability of pond aquaculture (polyculture andmonoculture of silver barb) under BRAC supervision in Trishal Upazila, Mymensinghdistrict in Bangladesh. The results of the study showed that polyculture waseconomically more rewarding than monoculture, though both the farming activities wereprofitable. Production function analysis proved that inputs such as fingerlings, fertilizer,feed and manure had positive impact on output. Human labor and insecticides were overused. The coefficients had expected signs and were found to be very significant.
