Pabda seed refers to the seed of Pabda (Ompok pabda), a prized freshwater catfish known for its delicate flesh, excellent taste, and strong consumer demand. Recognized for its moderate growth rate, sensitivity to water quality, and preference for clean, well-managed ponds, Pabda seeds are carefully selected to ensure good health, uniform size, and high survival rates. These seeds perform best in low-stress environments such as ponds and tanks, making them suitable for small-scale and semi-intensive aquaculture systems. Pabda farming adds value to diversified aquaculture and provides profitable returns when managed properly. High-quality Pabda seed is essential for maintaining healthy stock, improving production, and ensuring sustainable freshwater fisheries management.
