2. The principle of integrated fish farming involves – farming of fish + livestock +/ or agricultural crops.Efficient in resource utilizationRising cost of protein – rich fish food and chemical fertilizers.Integrated Fish farming Integrated fish farming systems refer to the production , integrated management and comprehensive use of aquaculture, agriculture and livestock. India : about 1500 years ago

4. Some fishes used 1. Hypothalmichthys molitrix (silver carp2. Ctenopharyngodon idella (grass carp)3. Labeo rohita (rohu)4. Cirrihinus mrigala (mrigal)5. Cyprinus carpio (common carp)6. Catla catla (catla)
5. Fish - PoultryUnder this system of integration the poultry birds are raised in cages under a shed normally constructed over the pond or in the vicinity of the pond The space requirement in such a system of poultry raising is about 1 sq. ft. per bird. The droppings of birds fall on the floor from where these are collected and applied to the pond.The chicken house can also be built directly over the pond water so that the excreta may fall in the pond water underneath Usually, 400 – 600 chickens/ha of pond water surface are usedNo feed or fertilizer is applied in the pond, except aquatic vegetation for grass carp. Fish productionat the rate of 4 – 5 t/ha is possible using this system.In India, this system of freshwater fish culture has assumed greater significance in view of its potential role in recycling of organic wastes and in integrated rural development.
6. AdvantagesFish provides high quality animal protein for human consumptionA farmer can often integrate fish farming into the existing farm to create additional income and improve its water management.Fish growth in ponds can be controlled : the farmers themselves select the fish species they wish to raise The fish produced in a pond are the owner’s [property; they are secure and can be harvested at will.Effective land use : effective use of marginal land e. g. land that is too poor, or too costly to drain for agriculture can be profitably devoted to fish farming provided that it is suitably preparedTHANK YOU
