I deeply acknowledge Professor Dr. Khin Maung Saing, Senior Advisor (Rtd.), Biotechnology Department, Yangon Technological University and Part- time Professor, Zoology Department, Dagon University for his kind help and encouragement rendered during the study. I am greatly indebted to Professor Daw Kay Thi, Head of Zoology Department, Sittway University, for her permission to conduct this research. My warmest thanks also extend to U Min Thein, Deputy Director (Rtd.) and Daw Aye Aye Zaw, Assistant Director, Department of Fisheries, Alone Township; U Win Myint, Staff Officer, and the staff of Fisheries Department, Yekyi Township; U Ko Ko Lwin, Staff Officer, and the staff of Fisheries Department, Pantanaw Township, for assisting me in various ways during the field trips. I am very grateful to U Thet Naing, Staff Officer, Export Quality Control Section and Daw Aye Aye Thein, Staff Officer, Freshwater Aquaculture Research Unit, Department of Fisheries, Thakayta, for aiding me in analyzing ofthe samples. 11 ABSTRACT The study was conducted at four study sites; Kyone-ta-myit-kyo 'In' (KTMK), We'-gyi 'In' (WG), Khone-sin-gyi 'In' (KSG) and Kha-nwe-kha-bo 'In' (KNKB) leasable fisheries in Yekyi and Pantanaw townships. The aim was to study fish growth consisting length-weight relationships, and reproductive biology to be compared on productivity and management. Some reproductive aspects of the chosen species, Notopterus notopterus, in three leasable fisheries; KTMK, WG and KSG were studied from January 2006 to November 2007. Fecundity was based on the analysis of 468 females collected during the spawning period. The reproductive period was recorded from June to September. Variation of reproductive aspects consisted of fecundity, Gonadosomatic Index (GSI), Stomach Repletion Index (SRI) and Hepatosomatic Index (HSl) were investigated. The peak of GSI was found in July with inverse relationship to HSI. Physico-chemical water parameters were also studied in conjunction with rainfall and correlated to the reproduction of the respective species. Highest fecundity (2601) was observed in KTMK. Growth aspects based on body length and weight, were studied on eight species Labeo rohita^ Catla catla^ Trichogaster pectoralis^ Channa striatus , Wallago attu , Ompok bimaculatus and Notopterus notopterus and Barbodes gonionotus collected fi*om four study sites as well as one species, Aorichthys aor in KTMK from June 2006 to April 2008 . Regression coefficient (b) mean values indicated that all nine fishes with approximately b=3 showing equal growth in length and weight although KTMK had the best value of b= 3.20. The mean values of Kn (relative condition factor) were found to be 1 in all study sites. The mean K (condition factor) values were recorded to be the best condition ranging of 0.65 to 1.76 in KTMK. It was concluded that as fish grows in body proportions, the condition factor increases significantly depending on growth ofeither weight or length. Ill Seven species offishes collected from the study sites were subjected to meat quality analysis for nutritional values of protein, fat, moisture and ash content. Catla catla possessed the highest protein (%) contents showing its suitability to all studied leasable fisheries. The findings are comparatively discussed and suggestions for future work are outlined.

This publication is also an important milestone for Myanmar Development Research (MDR) as it is the organization’s first project that was conducted directly in response to the needs of civil society and different stakeholders who have been putting efforts in the process of the political transition of Myanmar towards a peaceful and developed democratic society. We would like to thank our supporters who made this project possible and those who worked hard from the beginning to the end of publication and launching ceremony. In particular: (1) Heinrich B�ll Stiftung (Southeast Asia) for their support of the project and for providing funding to publish “Fact Book of Political Parties in Myanmar (2010-2012)”. (2) Party leaders, the elected MPs, record keepers of the 56 parties in this book who lent their valuable time to contribute to the project, given the limited time frame and other challenges such as technical and communication problems.
