Polyculture extends production life for ponds with acid sulfate soil
Acidification due to excavation and aeration of acid sulfate soil causes recurrent production losses and low yields in brackish water aquaculture.
Responsibility
Traditional culture of native carps in Bangladesh has been diversified by the polyculture of introduced carps with tilapia and catfish. Production is becoming increasingly intensive, with an accompanying need for greater feed and other inputs. The culture of Thai pangas has expanded more rapidly than tilapia farming because pangas carry less risk and also provide a quick return.

Responsibility
Tilapia-shrimp polyculture may provide an opportunity to re-establish a profitable and more sustainable aquaculture system at these dormant facilities.
