The research was conducted to study the effect of stocking density on growth a nd production of endangered Feather back Notopterus chitala fry in earthen ponds for a period of 75 days from 1 August to 15 September 2014. The average pond size was 0.002 ha with water depth 1 m. The fishes were stocked in the hatchery complex of University of Rajshahi with three treatments group each having three replicates. The average initial fish weight and length was 6.00±0.5g and 3.19±0.34 cm, respectively. Three stocking densities were maintained at 14820 fishes ha-1 (T1), 13585 fishes ha-1 (T2) and 12350 fishes ha-1(T3). Fishes were fed same diet with 27.5% protein in three different treatments consisting fish meal (25%), rice bran (20%), wheat bran (20%), maize bran (13%), mustard oil cake (25%) and vitamin premix (2%) at the rate of 8% body weight. The mean value of weight gain (g) was the highest (20.33±0.00) in T3 and lowest (15.32±0.009) in T1. Specific growth rate (SGR) was also the highest (1.64±0.001) in T3 and lowest (1.41±0.008) in T3. Significant difference was found for the mean values of weight gain and SGR. The survival rate of N. chitala was 82.33±1.20, 87.67±1.45, 94.50±1.50 in T1, T2, T3, respectively. The highest survival rate (94.50) was found in T3. The highest production (300.78±1.62 kg ha-1) was found in T3 followed by T2 and T1. Despite of this, consistently higher CBR (cost benefit ratio) was found in treatment T3 (1.8) than in treatments T2 (1.46) and T1 (1.2).
