Solution
The correct options are A Reduce the use of fertilisers and pesticides. B High yield is obtained. C Reduces deleterious effects on fish and predation. D Reduces stem borers on paddy. ∙ Inorganic fertilisers and pesticides cannot be metabolised by the organisms and as a result accumulate in the body of aquatic animals. ∙ Other animals feeds on them it further get transferred and leads to the deleterious effect on both aquatic animals and animals predating on them. ∙ The fishes are grown along with the crops they add certain organic material in the water which further promotes the growth of the crop. As a result high yield is obtained. ∙ It also reduce the diseases in the plants such as stem borers on paddy as they are eaten up by fishes.
