Blowfly infestation during drying period and insect infestation during storage period are the main problems associated with dried fish. In open sunlight five treatments T1-T5 of Bombay duck were produced and studied. Storage period was three months in two different condition polythene bag and gunny bags. Initial moisture and protein percentage was highest in T1 treatment where lipid was highest in T2 and ash content in T3 treatment. Initial TVBN value was highest 10.50mg/100g in T1 treatment and lowest 7.75mg/100g was in T4 treatment. After the storage period moisture regain was highest in T1 treatment in both polythene and gunny bag. TVBN varies 48.1mg to 52.65mg/100g fish in polythene bag where as in gunny bag it were 47.1mg to 56.1mg/100g fish.<#LINE#>DoF (Department of Fisheries) (2011).@National fish week@Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock, Dhaka, Bangladesh, 136.@No$Roy V.C., Kamal M., Faridullah M., Haque S.A. and Reza M.S.

During present investigation the food and feeding habits of Rasbora daniconious and Noemachielus botia were studied. Observations on the food and feeding habits of Rasbora daniconius revealed that it is a surface or sub surface feeder and omnivorous mainly feeding on insects and their larvae, microcrustaceans and rotifers which formed 64.5% as animal food. Plant food includes green algae, diatoms and plant parts which constituted 33.5 % of total food. In contrast the observations on the food and feeding habits of Noemachielus botia revealed that it is a bottom feeder and carniomnivorous that mainly feeds on microcrustaceans and insect larvae. The animal food formed 65.3% and plant food constituted 19.9 % of total food items.<#LINE#>Golikatte R.G. and Bhat G.
