Review of rice-fish culture in Southeast Asia
1980
Huat, K.K. | Tan, E.S.P.
The methods of fish culture in Southeast Asian rice fields are reviwed with comparisons between the captural system (in which stocking is by simple introduction in irrigation water and inputs and preparation are minimal) and the cultural systems (in which fields are prepared for fish and deliberate stocking is practiced). There are two main types of cultural system, concurrent and rotational culture of rice and fish. The numerous fish species cultured in rice fields and their effects on the rice are evaluated. The constraints to rice-fish culture, particularly pesticide use, are discussed and assessment is made of the prospects for future development.
