Abstract

The physico-chemical condition of water and soil  plays a vital role in the wetland ecosystem. Three  sampling stations were selected for the study of  physico-chemical parameters of water and soil of  Guthia taal in relation to fish production. Various  physico-chemical parameters of water like  temperature, transparency, pH, dissolved oxygen, free  carbon dioxide, biochemical oxygen demand,  chemical oxygen demand, total alkalinity, total  hardness, nitrate and phosphate were measured. The  soil samples were analysed with respect to soil  texture, pH, organic carbon, available phosphorus and  nitrogen. The present finding established that, in spite  of fevourable physico-chemical condition of water  and soil, potential fish yield is not being realized. Fish  production can be augmented to a great extent if we  managed scientifically. It can be realized optimally by  stocking of fast growing Indian major carps (Catla,  Rohu, Mrigal and Calbasu) and Exotic carps @ 1000- 1500 fingerlings/ha to utilize all the available fish  food resources.
