Biosecurity Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices in Carp Hatcheries and Nurseries in Bangladesh

Biosecurity is essential for producing healthy fish seed, yet its adoption in carp hatcheries and nurseries in Bangladesh remains uneven. This study documents the implementation of a baseline survey assessing biosecurity-related knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among hatchery and nursery operators. Data were collected through structured interviews and facility observations, covering hatchery characteristics, water sources, broodstock and seed management, disease risk perception, routine biosecurity and management practices, record keeping, constraints to adoption, training needs, and perceptions of regulatory support. The dataset provides a rich foundation for future analysis to identify gaps in biosecurity awareness and implementation and to inform capacity-building, technical assistance, and policy interventions aimed at improving fish seed quality, aquaculture productivity, and system resilience in Bangladesh.

生物安全（Biosecurity）对于健康鱼苗的生产至关重要，但在孟加拉国的鲤鱼孵化场与育苗场中，其推广应用仍存在不均衡的情况。本研究记录了一项基线调查的实施情况，该调查旨在评估孵化场与育苗场经营者与生物安全相关的知识、态度与实践（KAP）水平。研究通过结构化访谈与场地实地观察的方式收集数据，涵盖孵化场基本特征、水源状况、亲鱼与鱼苗管理、疫病风险认知、日常生物安全与管理实践、档案留存、推广应用的阻碍因素、培训需求以及对监管支持的认知。本数据集为后续分析提供了丰富的基础，可用于识别生物安全认知与实施层面的现存差距，并为旨在提升孟加拉国鱼苗质量、水产养殖生产力与系统韧性的能力建设、技术援助及政策干预提供参考依据。
