An investigation was conducted during the period from March to December, 2009 to know the status and fish seed production of the hatcheries of six upazilas of Rajshahi district. All the hatcheries were established during 1968 to 2003. The occupations of the hatchery owners are hatchery business and others. Training status of the hatchery owners shows that in maximum cases they had no training and other cases had short term training, consulting with UFO etc. Funding source was self and loan, land ownership was own and lease. Fish disease occurs seldomly. The area of hatchery buildings ranged from 5 to 33 decimals. The water carrying capacity of overhead tanks ranged from 9091.90 to 409135.5 liter. The volume of each cistern ranged from 1.73 m 3 to 3.93 m 3 . The volume of circular breeding and hatching tanks, varied from 2.48 m 3 to 4.02 m 3 and 1.72 m 3 to 3.14 m 3 . The volume of each incubation tank (bottle) ranged from 1.52 m 3 to 1.08 m 3 . The number of permanent workers ranged from 2 to 6 in all seasons. Six native species (rui, catla, mrigel, calibaush, bata and gonia) and six exotic species (silvercarp, bighead carp, grass carp, common carp, Thai pangus and Thai puti) were used for seed production. Two types of hormonal injections, such as Pituitary Gland (PG) and Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) were used for this purpose. Average fry production were for rui, 140.38 ± 127.02 kg, catla, 37.25 ± 29.24 kg, mrigel, 105.63 ± 54.84 kg, calibaush, 13.50 ± 5.75 kg, gonia, 32 ± 0 kg, bata, 166 ± 113.27 kg, silvercarp, 132.38 ± 96.32 kg, bighead carp, 120.71 ± 116.62 kg, grass carp, 31 ± 11.53 kg, common carp, 140.83 ± 93.83 kg, Thai pangus, 10 ± 0 kg, Thai puti, 42.33 ± 33.71 kg was recorded in some surveyed private hatcheries. The total fry production in some surveyed hatcheries ranged from 85 to 1698 kg with an average of 662.75 ± 513.83 kg. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ujzru.v30i0.10743 Univ. j. zool. Rajshahi Univ.

The genotypic variability and heritability for nine quantitative characters in 65 varieties of silkworm, B. mori L. have been investigated. Variation among genotypes were highly significant (p<0.001) for all the characters indicating the existence of a real difference among the genotypes which are suitable for breeding purposes. The highest heritability was obtained for shell weight followed by filament size (FS), filament length (FL), expected cocoon yield out of 100 dfls (ECY), surviving percentage of larvae (SPL), cocoon weight (CW), egg hatching percentage (EHP) and mature larval weight (MLW). Comparatively high heritability accompanied by a genetic advance was recorded for FL and total number of eggs laid per female (TEL) indicating the importance of additive gene effects of these characters, but shell weight, cocoon weight and filament size showed high heritability and low genetic advance indicating the involvement of non-additive gene systems in the inheritance of these characters. So selection on the basis of these characters, with relatively more emphasis upon filament length and total number of eggs laid per female to obtain high yielding varieties of B. mori is suggested.

对65个家蚕品种9个数量性状的基因型变异和遗传力进行了研究。所有性状的基因型差异均极显著(p<0.001)，表明适合育种的基因型之间存在真正的差异。壳重的遗传力最高，其次是丝长(FS)、丝长(FL)、百日产茧率(ECY)、幼虫成活率(SPL)、茧重(CW)、卵孵化率(EHP)和成熟幼虫重(MLW)。单株产蛋数和单株产蛋数遗传率较高，遗传率较低，说明加性基因对这些性状的遗传具有重要作用，而壳重、茧重和丝长遗传率较高，遗传率较低，说明非加性基因系统参与了这些性状的遗传。因此，建议在这些性状的基础上进行选择，相对侧重于丝长和每雌产卵总数，以获得高产品种。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ujzru.v30i0.10744 Univ. j. zool。Rajshahi university .

An investigation was conducted to study the abundance and diversity of Small Indigenous Species (SIS) of fish in the Chalan Beel. Sampling was carried out frequently over a year in selected landing centres, fish markets and catch points. A total of 82 SIS fish belonging to 10 orders, 22 families and 46 genera were recorded. The order Cypriniformes (42.68%) was the most dominant order comprising 35 species. The most dominant family of the order Cypiniformes was Cyprinidae (77.14%) comprising 27 species, and Puntius was the largest genus including 7 species. The most abundant SIS fishes observed during the study period were Tengra ( Mystus vittatus , M. tengara ), Punti ( Puntius sophore and P. ticto ), Taki ( Channa punctatus ), Guchi Baim ( Mastacembelus pancalus ), and the least abundant SIS fish were Aplocheilus panchax , Badis badis , Danio sp. and Chaca chaca . Availability of the species were ranked as Few (39%), followed by Common (23%), Very Common (15%), Rare (16%) and Very Rare (7%). At Mohisluti fish landing centre (under Tarash, Sirajganj) the highest number of species (79, 96.34%) of small fishes were found. Abundance of different SIS fishes were found to vary with the season.

The diversity of avifauna at the BARD (Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development), Comilla was studied from March, 2010 to March, 2011. A total of 41 species of birds (20 non-passerines and 21passerines) were identified. Among the total species, 37 (90.25%) were resident and 4 (9.75%) were winter migrants. Regarding to the habitat types utilized by individual species, 11 was bush dwellers, 5 at open place, 5 on human habitations, 4 on tall trees, 10 in garden, 6 found at near the pond. Relative abundance (by number) showed that 10 species were very common, 25 common, 9 fairly common and 7 few. The highest density was recorded for Passer domesticus (480.15 indiv. / acre) and the lowest was for Dicrurus macrocercus (1.29 indiv. / acre) . Among these birds, 18 (43.91%) species were insectivores, 6 (14.64%) piscivores, 6 (14.64%) granivores, 2 (4.88%) frugivores, 4 (9.76%) rodentivores, only one (2.44%) nectar feeder and the rest 3 (7.32%) were mixed feeders. Among the avifauna, 8 (21.63%) species were included in the threatened category, of which 2 (5.41%) were critically endangered, 3 (8.11%) endangered and 3 (8.11%) vulnerable nationally. Direct communication with local people recorded that illegal exploitation of forest, trapping, shooting of birds and collection of young as cage birds are the mentionable causes of decline of the diversity and population of avifauna in the study area. Control of unwise exploitation, plantation of indigenous fruit-trees and creation of awareness, preparation of integrated management action plan (IMAP) and its implementation in co-operation with National and International organizations are mostly essential for conservation of avian diversity in the study area.

Heterosis and combining ability for total number of eggs laid per female silkworm Bombyx mori L were investigated in a six parent diallel crossing programme in four rearing seasons. Magnitude of heterosis varied from seasons to season and was not consistent over characters. Effect of season was important in the expression of genetic variances and other parameters studied. Considerable amount to heterosis was obtained in the crosses where parents Nistari Oval (G), BSRI-98 and BV-High were involved. Parental performance as judged by general combining ability quantities indicated that BSRI-98 was the best general combining parent in all the rearing seasons. The variance due to the specific combing ability (? 2 sca) was higher than the general combining ability (? 2 gca) in all seasons, indicating the preponderance of non-additive gene action in inheritance of that trait. Majority of the crosses showing significant sca effects had either one or both the parents were good general combiners. Thus the combining ability of parents may be considered as a reliable guide in the prediction of the yield potential of those crosses. The crosses Nistari Oval (G)×BSRI-98, Nistari×BSRI-98 and BSRI-95× Nan Nung7B are recommended for the commercial exploitation of heterosis as an important egg producing breeds in majority of the rearing seasons.

采用六亲本双列杂交方法，对家蚕4个饲养季节的产卵总数的杂种优势和配合力进行了研究。杂种优势的大小随季节而变化，在性状上不一致。季节对遗传变异和其他参数的表达有重要影响。在亲本Nistari Oval (G)、BSRI-98和BV-High的杂交组合中获得了相当大的杂种优势。一般配合力评价表明，BSRI-98是各饲养季节的最佳一般配合力亲本。由于特定的梳理能力(?)2 sca)高于一般配合力(?2 gca)，说明非加性基因作用在该性状的遗传中占优势。大多数表现出显著sca效应的杂交，其亲本中有一方或双方是良好的一般配合者。因此，亲本配合力可作为预测杂交品种产量潜力的可靠指标。杂交品种Nistari Oval (G)×BSRI-98、Nistari×BSRI-98和bsri - 95x Nan Nung7B在大部分饲养季节作为重要的产蛋品种推荐用于杂种优势的商业开发。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/ujzru.v30.10754 Univ. j. zool。Rajshahi university .

Magnitude of heterosis varied from seasons to season and was not consistent over characters. Effect of season was important in the expression of genetic variances and other parameters studied. Considerable amount to heterosis was obtained in the crosses where parents Nistari Oval (G), BSRI-98 and BV-High were involved. Parental performance as judged by general combining ability quantities indicated that BSRI-98 was the best general combining parent in all the rearing seasons. The variance due to the specific combing ability (? 2 sca) was higher than the general combining ability (? 2 gca) in all seasons, indicating the preponderance of non-additive gene action in inheritance of that trait. Majority of the crosses showing significant sca effects had either one or both the parents were good general combiners. Thus the combining ability of parents may be considered as a reliable guide in the prediction of the yield potential of those crosses. The crosses Nistari Oval (G)×BSRI-98, Nistari×BSRI-98 and BSRI-95× Nan Nung7B are recommended for the commercial exploitation of heterosis as an important egg producing breeds in majority of the rearing seasons.

A study on the conservation on breeding colonies of bank myna, Acridotheres ginginianus (Latham 1790), was conducted in Chapai Nawabganj district of Bangladesh during a period from June 2007 to October 2009. The total population in the breeding colonies was estimated as 4,452. The preferable breeding habitats of bird are bank of the river, soil heap/ditches of brickfield and holes of culvert. Environmental calamities such as bank erosion and flooding, drought and rain affect the breeding colonies. Human settlement near breeding habitats, hunting, collecting eggs and nestlings by children, and use of nets to prevent nesting at bank of the river are the main human impacts on the breeding colonies. Major threats are flood, children-fun, predators and human for its meat. Conservation awareness for this species have depicted in this paper.
