Integrated fish farming

Indian agriculture is known for its multifunctionality to provide jobs, livelihood, food, nutrition and environmental securities. Today, India's economy is based mainly in the field of agriculture and development of software in the field of information technology. To achieve rapid progress in rural areas, our strategy should focus on, conservation of natural resources, improving the efficiency of resource utilization, increase productivity and profitability and improve the quality and competitiveness by the unit cost of production reduced.

plant nutrients and protection systems integrated crop, livestock and aquaculture production are updates to various agro-ecological. Water is becoming a national challenge and more effective management and recycling has been given high priority in the plan formulation. the inclusion of recycling of crop residues and agricultural by nitrogen-fixing legumes in the rotation, organic fertilizer, vermicultres, agroforestry, nutrient solubbizing micro-organisms, nutrients effectively taking plants etc. varieties are being strategies in the search warrant. Improving the efficiency of agricultural machinery, agricultural inputs and technology resources conservation tillage are being investigated to minimize the cost of production.

In some regions, rice paddies flooded with water remain for a period of 3-8 months in a year, during which some growth in fish is easily possible. Thus, the fish is grown in paddy fields to provide a sustainable supply more to the farmer. This practice is common in Italy, Japan, Malaysia, several African countries and to some extent in India are different techniques used for fish farming in rice fields in relation to climate conditions, local species of fish available and the variety cultivated rice. Rice cultivation is the main objective of the farmer, the culture of fish which must be adapted to the schedule of rice. Species that are adapted to culture in paddy fields should be able to thrive in shallow water. They should be able to tolerate relatively higher temperature and turbidity. Some carp, tilapia and Murrell are adapted to culture in rice fields. Fish culture is beneficial for the paddy to some extent. Fish do the work of ground control weeds and insects that cause damage to rice plants, which increases the production of paddy.

In India, experiments conducted on the culture of fish in rice fields in W. Bengal have shown that the survival rate of Labeo, Catla and ranges from 34-40% mrigal, and species show a more rapid growth in rice fields than in ponds. Fields that remain flooded for long or short a period after the harvest can be easily used for fish farming.

. The wetland is generally used as the desert can be integrated fish culture to culture Makhana. This type of mixed culture will provide greater efficiency in resource use, reduce risk through diversification of crops and provide food and extra income. This system will be of particular importance because it will improve the socioeconomic status of the fishing community the lowest in rural areas.

Fish farming in ponds can be Makhana group.
