Abstract

Due to an increase in population, Integrated fish farming with animal husbandry is a key player in enhancing higher fish production. This paper reviews on the integrated aquaculture with special reference to fish integration with animal husbandry to enhance production and productivity. Seven common systems of integrated fish farming with animal husbandry were identified; fish cum Poultry, fish cum piggery, fish cum duck, fish cum ruminants, fish cum goat, fish cum rabbit and fish cum cattle. While the common species of fish for integrations are common carp (Cyprinus carpio), tilapia (Oreochromis nilotics), silver carp (Hypophatalmichthys molitrix), catla (Catla catla), rohu (Labeo rohita) and mrigal (Cirrhinus mirgala). Integrated fish farming with animal husbandry has potentials of job creation, improve productivity and it is highly profitable.
