When McGillis went to Mars later, he proposed an alliance with Tekkadan, and Orga agreed. Tekkadan was eventually hired by Kudelia to protect her during a half metal mine visit. Recently, a Japanese woman made some yummy sushi for me, I thanked her saying 'Ariagato gozaimasu', she replied 'kochira koso'. … As of the beginning of Season 2, Tekkadan was organized as follow:
With the mobile suit engaging the Gjallarhorn's Graze, the remaining force engaged Gjallarhorn on the bridge that leads to Edmonton. A very familiar term, "~ chan (~ちゃん)" is often attached to children's names when calling them by their given names. In Bangladesh, though the three Indian major carps form the principal component species in polyculture systems, silver carp, grass carp, common carp, orange-fin labeo (Labeo calbasu), tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus and O.Īnother Chinese carp, bighead (Hypophthalmichthys nobilis) forms a component species in carp polyculture in Myanmar and Nepal.Unfortunately, Mikazuki, Akihiro, Hush, and Elgar are all killed in battle.Īlthough the attack was repealed, Tekkadan had became the target of the pirate group. In a two-species commercial carp production system practised in the Koleru lake region of Andhra Pradesh, the major carp producing region in India, stocked catla constitute 20-30 percent of the total, the rest being rohu. In the three-species system in India the proportion of catla stocked is usually kept at 30-35 percent, while in six-species culture it forms 15-20 percent. Under normal conditions catla grows to 1-1.2 kg in the first year, compared to 700-800 g and 600-700 g for rohu and mrigal, respectively. Since a riverine environment is required, natural breeding does not occur within ponds, even though the species attains maturity thus hormonal induction is required.Īmong the three Indian major carps, catla is the most difficult to breed as it requires precise environmental conditions for spawning. The resultant seed are brought by water flow to the downstream areas where they are caught by seed collectors. Its fecundity generally varies from 100 000-200 000kg BW, depending on fish length and weight. The spawning season coincides with the south-west monsoon in north-eastern India and Bangladesh, which lasts between May and August, and in north India and Pakistan from June to September. The fry are planktophagic, feeding mainly on zooplankton such as rotifers and cladocerans. The larvae begin to feed three days after hatching, while their yolk sacs persist.Īs they increase in size, the number of gill rakers and gill filaments also increases, thus assisting them to strain ingested food items. The species has also been introduced elsewhere, including Sri Lanka, Israel, Japan, and Mauritius.Īt present, catla forms an integral component species, both in three-species polyculture with rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala), and six-species composite carp culture, which adds common carp (Cyprinus carpio), grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) to the species mix.Įarly-stage larvae remain in surface and sub-surface waters and are strongly phototactic. Success in the induced breeding of the species in 1957 assured subsequent seed supply, thus revolutionising this form of polyculture in India and other south-east Asian countries. The collection of riverine seed was the only source for culture until the 1950s. Its higher growth rate and compatibility with other major carps, specific surface feeding habit, and consumer preference have increased its popularity in carp polyculture systems among the fish farmers in India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Laos, Pakistan and Thailand. The use of catla as a component in pond culture was a traditional practice in the eastern Indian states, spreading to all other Indian states only during the second half of the 20th century.
As the species breeds in the riverine ecosystem, its ready seed availability has helped in establishing its aquaculture in the peripheral region of the riverine system in these countries.
