3. ROLE OF FISHERIES AND POND
MANAGEMENT UNDER IFS

4. INTEGRATED FISH FARMING
 Integrated fish farming systems refer to the production ,
integration management and comprehensive use of
aquaculture , agriculture and livestock.
• PRINCIPLE : Farming of fish and livestock or fish and
agricultural crops.
Types:
 Aquaculture – Agriculture integration .
 Aquaculture - Livestock integration .

5. Aquaculture –Agriculture
Integration
• Fish – Rice Integration
• Fish – Azolla Integration
• Fish – Horticulture integration
• Fish – Sericulture Integration
• Fish – Mushroom Integration

6. Aquaculture – Livestock Integration
• Fish – Duck integration
• Fish – Cattle integration
• Fish – Poultry integration
• Fish – Pig integration
• Fish – Goat/Sheep integration
• Fish – Rabbit integration

7. Some Fishes Used in IFS
1. Silver Carp
2. Grass Carp
3. Labeo rohita (Rohu)
4. Mrigal
5. Common Carp
6. Catla Catla

8. Aquaculture – Agriculture Integration
Fish – Rice Culture : It needs rice fields digging
peripheral trenches , dykes , pond refuge , sowing a
improved rice varieties , fishes , rice bran and oil cake
of 2-3%of body weight.
Fish culture can be done by : Simultaneous Culture
Rotation Culture
 Fish must be tolerate to shallow water depth
,temperature up to 35C and low dissolved oxygen .
Rice varieties like Panidhan, Tusli, CR 26077, Adt 6,
Rajarajan etc

10. A model layout for rice cum, murrel culture for
marginal farmers
 Construction of pond
 Selection of site
 Construction of dyke and trench
 Provision for water inlet and
outlet
 Preparation of farm pond
 Plantation of paddy samplings
 Procurement of fish seed
 Selection of suitable fish
species
 Collection and rearing of
brooders
 Induced breeding of brooder
 Rearing of fry to fingerlings
 Release of fingerlings to farm
land
Maintenance of paddy and murrel fingerlings in paddy field
Harvesting of paddy and Murrels after 100 days

12. Fish – Azolla :
It is a free floating fern.
 Its thick mat eliminates mosquitoes
 Used as a nitrogenous bio fertilizer
 Food for Grass carp fishes
Provide shade to fishes
Decayed Azolla feed for common carp and mrigal .

14. Fish - Horticulture
 Top , inner and outer dykes of ponds is utilized for
horticultural crops
Pond water can be used for crops , vegetables and
fruit bearing crops
Plants should be dwarf , less shady , evergreen
Dwarf fruit bearing plants like mango , banana ,
papaya , coconut , lime
Intercrops like ginger, turmeric, chilly, pine apple,
rose, jasmine, can be grown.

15.  Residues of vegetables could be recycled into fish
ponds
 When banana or coconut cultivated in rows the
ditches act as a supply or drainage canal
 Grass carp , Rohu , Catla , Mrigal - 50:15:20:15

17. Fish - Sericulture
 Mulberry is a producer
 Silkworm is a primary consumer
 Fish is a secondary consumer ( ingest silkworm
faeces )

19. Aquaculture – Livestock Integration
Management of Pond :
 Over fertilization with manure lead to poor quality
of pond water , particularly depletion of oxygen and
kills the fishes.
Natural depletion or excavated land are avoided.
Pond depth 1.5 to 3m is good.
Clay or loamy soil type having pH 6.5 – 7.5 is good.
Detoxification should be done.
Time of stocking and harvesting is important.

20. Four kinds of integrated livestock fish farming
systems were introduced , namely
1. Full water surface utilization
2. Pond side feeding of birds
3. Slotted floor design upon certain part of pond
surface
4. Grass intermediate practice

21. Fish – Duck
 A fish pond being semi – closed biological system
with aquatic animals and plants provide disease
free environment for ducks
 Ducks consume juvenile frogs, tadpoles, dragon fly
making safe environment to fish
 Stocking of fishes depend on the size of pond and
number of ducks
 Stocking 20000/ha – production 3000-
4000kg/ha/year and duck eggs and meat is
obtained.

23. Fish - Cattle
 The cattle urine and dung are beneficial to filter the
water and feeding omnivorous fishes
On an average 3-4 cows or buffaloes can provide
sufficient manure to fertilize one hectare of pond
 We can obtain 9000L of milk and 3000-4000kg of
fish per year per hectare.
 Fish also utilize the fine feed wasted by cattle
Cattle urine, dung and washings are disposed
directly into fish pond which saves money and
labour

25. Fish - Poultry
 Under this system of integration the poultry birds
are raised in cages under a shed normally
constructed over the pond or in the vicinity of pond
 Poultry house can also be built directly over the
pond water so that excreta may fall in the pond
 No feed or fertilizer applied in the pond except for
the grass carp
 For 400-600 chickens one hectare of pond water
surface is required . Fish production at the rate of 4-
5t/ha is possible by using this system.

27. Fish - Pig
 The Pig dung is a organic manure for fish has
certain advantages over cattle manure.
 The pig house are built near the pond or over the
ponds. The washing from the pig house containing
dung and urine are allow directly into pond or
composed before its application
 Pig dung is applied to pond after pre cooking it
enhances the biological productivity of the pond.
 The excreta from 30-40 pigs is enough to fertilize
one hectare of water.

29. Fish – Goat
 Goat excreta is a very good organic fertilizer
 50-60 goats are essential to fertilize one hectare
pond
 this system provides 3500-4000kg fish/ha/year
without supplementary feeding and fertilizer
 Goat excreta contains organic carbon 60%, N-2.7%,
P-1.78%, K-2.88% and its urine also equally rich in
both N & P

31. Fish - Rabbit
 Rabbit excreta is high in nitrogen content and low
in moisture , thus quality manure for sustained
plankton production
 The excreta from 300 rabbits is enough for
fertilizing one hectare pond
 Rabbit meat is preferred by most of the consumers
because of its low fat content compare to other
meat.
 Rabbit excreta contains OC-50%, N-2%, P-1.33%,
and K-1.2%

38. ADVANTAGES
 Increased efficiency in the use of existing crop and
animal resources.
 Reduced dependence on purchased concentrates used
for feeding fish, and concurrent reduction in cost of
production.
 The efficiency of nitrogen utilisation for fish biomass
production is relatively higher.
 Fish provides high quality animal protein for humans.
 It provides additional income and improve its water
management.
 Farmers themselves select the fish species they wish to
raise.

39. • The fish produced in a pond are the owners
property . They are secure and can be harvested
when ever they want.
• Land that is too poor , or too costly to drain for
agriculture can be profitably devoted to fish farming
provided that it is suitably prepared.
