Advantages of Composite Fish Culture
Composite fish culture is a method of fish farming where different species of fish are cultured together in the same pond. These species are carefully selected to avoid competition and efficiently utilize different levels of the pond.
- Efficient Use of Resources – Different fish species occupy different layers of the pond (surface, middle, and bottom), ensuring full utilization of available food and space.
- Higher Yield – Since multiple species are cultivated together without competition, overall fish production increases.
- Balanced Ecosystem – The interaction between different species helps maintain ecological balance in the pond.
- Prevention of Overpopulation – Selected fish species have different feeding habits, reducing competition for food and promoting better growth.
- Sustainable and Profitable – This method leads to continuous fish production, increasing the farmer’s income while ensuring sustainable fish farming.
