BENEFITS OF INTEGRATED FISH FARMING

In today’s world, our economy  is mainly based on the field of agriculture and software development  in the area of Information Technology. To achieving rapid progress in rural area, our strategy should focus on;

-Conserving natural resources,

-Enhancing efficient use of resources,

-Increasing productivity and profitability,

-Improving quality and competitiveness through reduced unit cost of production.

The integration of fish and plants results in a poly culture that increases diversity and yields multiple products.

-Water is re-used through biological filtration and re-circulation.

-Local food production provides access to healthy foods and enhances the local economy.

 ECOSYSTEM OF INTEGRATED AQUACULTURE

The integrated fish farming includes the:-

1.       Process of trapping solar energy

2.       Production of organic material by primary producers

3.       Its utilization by phagotrophs

4.       Decomposition of autotrophs and phagotrophs by saprotrophs

5.       Release of nutrients for autotrophs

ADVANTAGES OF INTEGRATED FISH FARMING

-efficient waste utilization from different culture practice for fish production

-it reduces additional cost for supplementary feeding as well as fertilization

-it is an artificial balanced ecosystem where there is no waste

-it provides more employment avenues

-it reduces the input and increases output and economic efficiency

-the integrated fish farming provides fish along with meat, milk, vegetables, fruits, eggs, grains, fodder, mushroom, etc

- this practice has potential to increase the production and socioeconomic status of weaker section of our society.
