Question

Identify the type of fish farming which increases the productivity but lacks in pure fish seeding for culture. Also mention its merits.

Answer 1

The type of fish farming which increases the productivity but lacks in pure fish seeding for culture is composite fish culture. Composite fish culture is the farming with increase of productivity due to the following reasons.

• In this type of fishing, different types of fishes of compatible species having different feeding habits are reared in the same pond.
• They do not compete for food as different parts of the pond are utilized for their feed.
• Most of the fish breed in monsoon. Major problem is the lack of pure fish.
