Abstract | In intensive fish culture, fish are generally fed with high protein diets. The nutrient-rich wastes derived from feeding are often directly or indirectly released to the surrounding environment, becoming a source of pollution. The wastes from intensive fish culture can be used for culturing filter-feeding fish species such as Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) at low cost. Dual integrated culture systems, namely cage-cum-pond and pen-cum-pond culture systems, have been developed to maximize fish production and profitability from given inputs and to minimize the environmental impact of intensive fish culture. |
