Amblypharyngodon mola, commonly known as Mola Carplet or Pale Carplet is a freshwater species; a natural inhabitant of After collection, fish specimens have been transferred to ice ponds, streams, ditches, beels, baors, reservoirs and inundated box and morphometric study has then been performed after fields. 94282). J. bio-sci, 15: 169-171. in general, as 75% of them cultured carps with 7 … The Mola carplet (Amblypharyngodon mola) is a species of carplet in the family Cyprinidae.It is found in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar. Benefits of small indigenous species The present status and deviations from the classical management practices of composite farming of Indian major carps (IMC) have been investigated in North 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, India. In addition, mola breeds in the pond, and partial, frequent harvesting Research published by WorldFish, an international, non-profit research organisation based in Malaysia, shows that mola (Amblypharyngodon mola), a carplet that can grow up to about 10 cm long, reared alongside other fish in a pond polyculture system, represents the most nutritional value from a harvest. in pond polyculture and the stocking of the vitamin A-rich small fish, “mola” (mola carplet, Amblypharyngodon mola), did not decrease the total production of carps; however, the nutritional quality of the total fish production improved greatly. Mola harvesting was carried out twice a day at two sites for a period of 180 days using three different mesh-size nets. The objective of this paper was to conduct a benefit–cost analysis of a national household pond Mola Promotion Program (MPP) in Bangladesh. 41236).Development of oocytes is asynchronous, are fractional spawners (Ref. The main objective of this study was to determine the reproductive biology of A. mola for better scientific management and conservation in hapa based culture, set up in a large earthen pond. A total of 60 household women involved in mola carplet (Amblypharyngodon mola) culturing participated in this study. The promotion of a small indigenous fish, high in vitamin A – mola carplet – offers a promising food-based approach to improving vitamin A status of the 98% of Bangladeshis who eat fish. Factors determining the productivity of mola carplet in carp polyculture systems in Barisal district of Bangladesh In India’s Odisha State, fish farmers have been able to double their production from 2.5 metric tons to 5 metric tons per hectare per year thanks to a carp intensification program supported by WorldFish. Ghosh A, Mahapatra BK and Datta NC (2003) Ornamental Fish Farming- Successful Small Scale Aqua Business in India, Aquaculture Asia, 8(3): 14-16. We e used mola catch data obtained from harvesting operations of two different durations. Length-weight relationships of mola carplet Amblypharyngodon mola (Hamilton) (Cypriniformes: Cyprinidae) from wetlands of Assam, India Golapi Devi and Mrinal Kumar Das Abstract Download Background and Objective: The mola carplet, Amblypharyngodon mola is a representative small indigenous fish species that is enriched with different vitamins and minerals. The promotion of a small indigenous fish, high in vitamin A- mola carplet - offers a promising food-based approach to improving vitamin A status of the 98% of Bangladeshis who eat fish. Adult Amblypharyngodon mola are typically found in ponds, canals, beels, slow-moving streams, nullahs, and paddy fields. Adults are found in ponds, canals, beels, slow-moving streams, nullahs and paddy fields (Ref. The objective of this paper was to conduct a benefit-cost analysis of a national household pond mola promotion program (MPP) in Bangladesh.
