The Effect of Intercropping in the Fish Culture on Productive Capacity (Applied study)

Abstract

This research was aimed to increase the productive power of fish culture per unit in ponds, it was optimized to change the production method used through the cultural intervention of fingerlings and small- sized fishes by beneficial effect of feeding. It was noticed that the feed in water Crustacia. Meanwhile, the fish were fed on about 300 gm of feed. A total of (4) ponds were cultured by fingerlings by various density the results indicated that the best economical density was 20,000 fingerlings per acres. The results have also indicated that per acre has an income of (6.686 million), despite of the high mortality rate which was 55%; in comparison with the density of 10,000 fingerlings in the (4th) pond which was due to the 40% mortality rate; so the total income was 4.8 million Dinars. The results of culture intervention led to increase of the influx currency from 2 million Dinars to be more than 94 million Dinars, and each single Dinar income was increased from 1.083 to 3.74. The net value was increased from 5.641 to 97.641 as well as the productive capacity from (1.4) to (24.4).
