Tips for good fish culture practices

• Prepare pond meticulously before initiating fish culture every year
• Get rid of all pre-existing fish before starting new culture
• Stock fish optimally - do not overstock or under stock
• Do not stock small fish with big ones or in other words, stock fish of more or less the same size and at the same time
• Apply organic manure, lime and inorganic fertilizer as per recommendations and rake the pond bottom with net at least once a month
• Apply supplementary feed on daily basis as per recommendations
• Keep the pond and its surrounding devoid of weeds
• Pond dykes should have such plants/trees that provide shade, check soil erosion but at the same time do not pollute the water with the falling leaves
• Ponds should be airy and have sufficient sunlight penetration
• Use cheap local ingredients as fish and prawn feed
• Dyke of the pond should be strong and well guarded to prevent escape of fish & prawn from the pond and also to prevent entry of wild fish into it
