BACKGROUND


    Integrated f ish farming systems refer to the
      production, integrated management and
comprehensive use of aquaculture, agriculture and
livestock, with an emphasis on aquaculture. China
   has a long and rich history of integrated fish
farming. Written records from the f irst and second
   centuries B.C. documented the integration of
     aquatic plant cultivation and fish farming.
THE PRINCIPLE OF INTEGRATED
             FISH FARM
 The waste products of one biological system serve
  as nutrients for a second biological system.
 The integration of fish and plants results in a
  polyculture that increases diversity and yields
  multiple products.
 Water is re-used through biological filtration and
  recirculation.
 Local food production provides access to healthy
  foods and enhances the local economy.
BASIC MODEL OF INTEGRATED FISH
            FARM

a) Agri-based fish farming
b) Live-stock fish farming
  The fish-cum live-stock farming is realised as
  innovation for recycling of organic wastes as
  well as production of high protein content feed
  at low cost.

THE ADVANTAGE OF
      INTEGRATED FISH FARM
1. Efficient waste utilisation from
   different culture practice for fish
   production (artificial balance)


    The re-cycling of organic wastes for fish culture serves
      the dual purpose of cleaning the environment (by
           avoiding the problem of waste disposal).
         This is important to sustainable aquaculture
THE ADVANTAGE OF
     INTEGRATED FISH FARM
2. It reduces the additional cost for
   supplementary feeding as well as
   fertilisation


    Manure loading in integrated fish farming basically comes from
      poultry and other farm animals, which contain considerable
    quantities of nutrients for fish production. Protein content from
   manure ranges between 10 – 30%, energy between 110 - 1400 kcal
        per kg manure with synthesized soluble vitamins in high
     concentration (Praff, 1975; Tuleun, 1992). It also contains non
     digested feed. It can be utilized to replace reasonable parts of
          feed stuff used in conventional fish production cost
3. Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
  strategies as a necessary complement
  to fish farming practice.



A study survey in Mekong Delta, Vietnam showed – IPM rice-fish have higest net
income (19 500 000 VND/year/ha) due to comparatively low costs and high yields
                            of both rice and fish.

The production costs are lower but the rice yield is similar to that of non-IPM rice
                farm. Non-IPM rice-fish farmers have the lowest
net income (15 800 000 VND per year ha−1) due to their high costs and low yields
                                  (Berg, 2002)
THE ADVANTAGE OF
     INTEGRATED FISH FARM
3. It reduces the input and increases
   output and economic efficiency


     The economic benefit of integrated fish farming
   cannot be over-emphasized since the integration is
   varied and diversified in nature. It is one of the most
       viable, reliable and profitable of any farming
                          enterprise
THE ADVANTAGE OF
INTEGRATED FISH FARMincrease
        4. Has potential to
           the production and
           socio-economic status of
           weaker section of our
           society



                It contributes immensely to
               the economic empowerment
               of many families especially in
                  the rural communities. It
                  enables the farmer to be
               productive all the year round
                    and fully maximize its
                         production
THE ADVANTAGE OF
INTEGRATED FISH FARM
       4. Meet the Milennium
         Development Goals
         (MDG’s) Objective




           Ensure the food
           security and the
           Food availability
THE DISADVANTAGE
Consider this

      The spread of disease
                To the fish
            To the Human
THE DISADVANTAGE
To the fish
 Spread of Fish Disease
   fish become more susceptible to-
   diseases both parasites, bacteria,
   and viruses that are transmitted from
   livestock manure or from food
   remains with a poor quality,

 Degradation of Water quality
   Water as a live place for fish,
   become worse, as a result of
   excessive nutrient input and low of
   dissolved oxygen                        Environment measurement

                                     Disease
Rice-fish farming in Northern Malaysia, concurrent increase use of
pesticides and herbicides – affected fish species.

Double cropping of rice - shorter growing season for fish.


Pesticide – necessary for high yield, but adverse effect
on health and environment.
THE DISADVANTAGE
 To the Human
                  Remember about
                     H5N1 ?



Chicken farm at          Chicken got
                                                     Given to Catfish
    Catfish              H5N1 virus
               Now, suppose chickens had died of H5N1. Surely
               this way, would get H5N1 into the fish guts (how
             long might it remain?), as well as onto skin, and into
                    water? And how about us as consumer?
THE DISADVANTAGE
  fish production will be very
  dependent on the production of
  other livestock (especially to the
  food)
     disrupt the growth rate of fish –
     fish/duck > fish/goat (Geeta, 1988).
     Stress fish                    Where
                                    is my
     Reduce the immunity            food?
SOLUTION
Socio-cultural factor – together with economic and
technical feasibility studies on integrated farming.


Budget analysis, estimate cost of production and profit
of operation.

Finance well-planned development projects to promote
integrated fish farming.

Use of formulated bio-fertilizer and microagent for
water manipulation
SOLUTION
Training on  integrated aquaculture-agriculture by bilateral
oranization - World Fish Center

Showed significant positive impact on farmers' technical
efficiency, total factor productivity and net incomes (Murshed-
E-Jahan and Pemsl, 2011).

Editor's Notes

  • #18: Pesticides can have direct effect to the fish or to the food-web where it will change the structure of the aquatic community – detrimental effect on Cladocerans. Somehow it is depend on the persistance, chemical formlation, manner and time of application. In Malaysia there is only a small percentage of freshwater fish come from integrated system compared to the captured fish. They depend on the naturally available fry.
  • #20: Integrated system of fish/duck is better compare to fish/goat due to the faster transformation of manure to nutrients available for algal utilization when compared to slower decomposition of goat manure thus resulting in the build-up of a toxic condition at the pond bottom (Geeta, 1988).
  • #21: Integrated aquaculture is successful but more comparative and feasible study on the different livestock-fish farming system. Most of the small farmers did not pay much concern on investment of cost, labor and inputs which should leads to positive perspective on savings in feed and labor costs. In many areas, traditional rice-fish culture has gradually transformed into green/organic food production systems. Certificated and labeled green and organic rice and aquatic products not only bring the farmers more income, but also contribute to holistic rural development.
