MAGUR FISH CLARIAS BATRACHUS BREEDING IN BIHAR

Author(s) Dr. Ankit Kumar
Country India
Abstract This study examines the breeding practices, environmental factors, and economic impact of Magur fish (Clarias batrachus) farming in Bihar, India. Magur fish is a key species in Bihar’s aquaculture industry due to its ability to thrive in poor water conditions. Despite its potential, challenges such as ineffective breeding methods, poor water quality, disease outbreaks, and hybridization limit its growth. The research uses surveys, interviews with farmers, and water quality tests to evaluate current breeding practices and their success. The study finds that induced breeding, which uses hormonal injections, leads to better results than traditional natural breeding methods. Key environmental factors like dissolved oxygen, pH levels, and temperature were found to directly affect breeding success. The study also highlights the economic benefits of Magur fish farming, which provides steady income for rural communities, particularly women. issues such as genetic degradation from hybridization and disease outbreaks remain significant challenges. The research concludes that improving breeding techniques, better water management, and supportive policies are essential for the long-term success of Magur fish farming. Further research should focus on genetic improvement, disease management, and new technologies to make the industry more sustainable and profitable in Bihar.
