Kanyakumari district belonging to the high rainfall zone has resource advantages for composite fish culture in the leased-in village tanks. There are more than 400 fish farmers operating in leased-in tanks following composite fish culture under the FFDA programme. To estimate the economic feasibility and financial viability of the enterprise, the present study was taken up. 38 fish farmers selected from the district provided the necessary information like capital investment, costs and return and constraints. The data collected were analysed and a farm nearest to the average farm situation was taken as the representative farm. Investment criteria like PayBack Period (PBP), Simple Rate of Returns (SRR), Net Present Value (NPV) and Benefit Cost Ratio (BCR) were estimated taking into account a period of 10 years, the period for which the village tanks are leased-out to fish farmers under the FFDA programme. The analysis indicated the profitability of composite fish culture in village tanks in the district and the results are discussed with recommendations.

An experiment was conducted to understand the culture feasibility of sliver barb
(Barbodes gonionotus) and GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) with shrimp
(Penaeus monodon). There were three different treatment (T) combinations: (T1) shrimp
(10,000/ha) and silver barb (10,000/ha), (T2) shrimp (10,000/ha) and GIFT (10,000/ha),
and (T3) shrimp (10,000/ha). Shrimp, after 120 days of culture, attained an average weight
of 23.77g in T1, followed by T3 (23.70g). The highest average weight was recorded in T2
(24.93g). The specific growth rate (SGR) of shrimp was 6.9%, 6.94% and 6.9% for T1 T2
and T3, respectively. The SGR for the B. gonionotus and GIFT was 2.56% and 4.26%,
respectively. The final weight of silver barb was 69.75g and that of GIFT was 161.83g.
Survival of shrimp was higher (65.50%) in T2, followed by T3 (59.97%) and T1 (57.03%).
Survival rate of silver barb (58.10%) was lower compared to that of GIFT (78.43%).
Sporadic and scanty mortality of silver barb with a symptom of blind-red-protruded eye,
swollen belly and body lesion was observed. Production of shrimp was higher of 284.05
kg/ha in monoculture, followed 162.47 kg/ha in concurrent culture with silver barb and
136.77 kg/ha culture with GIFT. In spite of similar stocking density of B. gonionotus and
GIFT in T1 and T2, respectively, the production of GIFT was higher (1272.95 kg/ha)
than that of silver barb ( 402.72kg/ha). Survival, final weight and production rates of
shrimp among the treatments were found insignificant while total production of
shrimp/fish was found to vary significantly (P
