Question

What is composite fish culture ? Give its two advantages

Answer 1

An advantage of composite fish culture is that it increases the yield of fish. In a composite fish culture, five or six different species are grown together in a single fish pond. Fishes with different food habitats are chosen so that they do not compete for food among themselves.

Answer 2

Answer:

Composite fish culture refers to the act or process of rearing different species of fish in the same area or fish pond.

Explanation:

In composite fish culture more than one type of compatible fishes are cultured in the same pond. All together these species use all the available food in the pond without competing with each other thus enhancing survival of different species within the same area

In this system both local and imported fish species, a combination of at least five or six fish species is used in a single fish pond. These species are selected so that they do not compete for food among them having different types of food habitats.As a result the food available in all the parts of the pond is used. Other fish will also feed on the excreta of the common carp and this helps contribute to the efficiency of the system which in optimal conditions production will increase based on the conditions of the pond.
