Growth and survival of fingerlings of a threatened snakehead, Channa striatus (Bloch) in earthen nursery ponds

Nursery rearing of a high-valued threatened snakehead fish, Channa striatus was studied in relation to varying stocking densities in earthen ponds. The experiment was conducted for eight weeks in nine earthen nursery ponds having an area of 0.012 ha with an average depth of 0.8 m. Fry produced from...
