| dc.description | The growth, survival, production and economic feasibility of milkfish and prawn grown singly and in combination are described. Stocking density combination involved 20,000 prawn jv/ha with 2,000 milkfish fingerlings/ha for polyculture; 20,000 prawn juv/ha in monoculture; and 2,000 milkfish fingerlings/ha in monoculture. After 109 culture days, results showed no significant difference (p<0.05) on growth and survival rates of both commodities in two culture schemes. Mean weight gain was 30.88 g fo r prawn and 263.33 g for milkfish in monoculture and 31.85 g and 210.57 g for prawn and milkfish, respectively, in the polyculture system. Mean survival rates were 94.03 percent for prawn and 99.0 percent for milkfish in polyculture; and 82.13 percent for prawn and 92.33 percent for milk-fish for the polyculture system. Net aggregate production, however, was highly significant in polyculture, attaining 923.50 kg/ha/crop. Economic feasibility revealed encouraging results for polyculture over mono culture, with return on investment (ROI) valued at 45 percent for polyculture. | |
