      abstract = {This study was performed in Fulpur upazila under  Mymensingh district for the period of 13 months from August  2010
to August 2011 to know the socio-economic and  aquaculture status of fish farm owners and to assess the  nutritive
value of commercial fish feed available at Fulpur  upazila of Mymensingh district. Fish farm owners were  prominent in
the study area and majority was illiterate but  had the ability of signature. The monoculture and  polyculture farm in the
studied area were established in  ranged from 1995 to 2005, respectively. Most of the fish  farm owners followed
polyculture system and had small farm  area. Majority of fish farm owners leased water body for  aquaculture. The
minimum size of the farm was 0.162 ha and  maximum size of the farm was 3.722 ha. The average depth of  the water
body in winter season was 1.61 meter and in  summer season was 2.32 meter. Majority of fish farm owners  followed
proper pre-stocking and post stocking management  with maintaining high stocking density of fish and using  either
commercial or farm made fish feed. Among the  commercial fish feed tested the highest value of moisture  was found
in Aftab feed, protein in Nourish feed, lipid in  CP feed, ash in Aftab feed, fibre in ACI feed and  carbohydrate in ACI
feed. Most of the commercial fish feed  maintain standard level of chemical composition.},
