Abstract

Juvenile river shrimp Macrobrachium nipponense were used with weights and bred with Barbus xanthopterus of the same weight for a 30-day experiment. The weight at the end of the experiment was 2.313±0.567 gm and 11.167±2.644 gm for both shrimp and fish respectively. The shrimp grew with a weight increase exceeding one gram, while the fish grew with a weight increase exceeding 3 grams during the same period of the experiment. These results encourage the need to move towards mixed farming and benefit from the common factors between experimental animals to give more benefit from the sustainable crop.
