Many farmers struggle to realise the full potential of their fish farming operations, often due to limited market access, high post-harvest losses, and fluctuating prices. A key solution to these challenges is fish value addition, which can significantly increase profit margins and reduce losses.
Poorly managed farms and a lack of adequate record keeping aquaculture result in many missed opportunities for better productivity. With proper management in place, farmers can be able to observe water quality, the health of the fish, feeding schedules of the fishes, among others, to avoid losses and improve their yields.
Fish polyculture is an efficient and sustainable method of raising fish, which more and more fish farmers are practicing worldwide. This article discusses what fish polyculture is, how to select the ideal species of fish for polyculture, the benefits versus challenges, and a detailed case study considering tilapia and catfish. If you intend to do polyculture or are seeking to improve your fish polyculture system at the farm, then this comprehensive guide is all you will need.
