      abstract = {The present study was conducted over 4 months during 1st  September to 30th December 2005 to observe the effects
of  stocking density on growth and survival of Thai Sharpunti,  Barbodes gonionotus in 3 earthen ponds of size of  2.8
decimal each. The stocking densities of 80, 100 and 120  fish/decimal were treated as T1, T2 and T3, respectively.  All
the treatments were subjected to the same feeding  regime and fertilization. The range of water quality  parameters
such as temperature were 30.31, 30.16 and 29.65  0C, transparency were 29.94, 37.63, and 40.02 cm, water  depth
were 143.91, 148.67 and 151.54 cm, dissolved oxygen  were 4.72, 4.35 and 4.24 mg/l, pH were 7.71, 7.49 and  7.31,
plankton biomass were 43.05 x 105 /l, 37.97 x 105 /l  and 36.05 x 105 /l in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Among  the
growth parameters, mean weight gain were 48.87 g, 41.43  g and 34.09 g, percent weight gain were 698.21%,
591.93%  and 487%, the average daily gains were 1.65, 1.54 and 1.20  g, the specific growth rate were 1.73, 1.61 and
1.47%, in  T1, T2 and T3 respectively. The gross total productions of  Barbonymus gonionotus were 1041.96, 1085.71
and 1019.64  kg/ha/120 days while the net productions were 911.60,  929.46 and 846.43 kg/ha/120 days in T1, T2 and
T3,  respectively. The gross and net total productions in T2  were highest among the treatments. The highest growth
and  survival rate were obtained in T1.},
