Integrated Fish Farming: Analysis, Production, and Research Report

This report delves into the realm of integrated fish farming, analyzing its production methods, business decisions, and research findings. It emphasizes the importance of integrating fish farming with vegetable and worm production to meet market demands. The report discusses the need for favorable soil conditions, nitrogen levels, and water quality to optimize fish and food production. It also highlights the significance of integrated fish farming, emphasizing the efficient use of resources and the benefits of combining various production components. The report references several sources, including a project proposal from Zambia and research on the health benefits of fish protein. The report also discusses the importance of research in the field of fish farming, as well as the role of integrated fish farming in increasing food production and improving breeding practices.

Analysis of the business decision
Fish farming in an integrated content means the process by which fish production is done
together with production of other substances like vegetables and worms important for their
growth and development. Need to come up with this decision of integrated fish farming is to help
fill in the gaps of large demands of products made using fish both at local and international
markets. The rate of consumption of fish made products is increasing at a very high rate as its
being discovered its relevant impact. To enable this production of fish in center of other
production of vegetables and worms important for adequate fish food production good conditions
are required. The level of soil nitrogen should be favorable as well as its biomass to enhance
favorable conditions for raring of worms and also vegetable farming important for fish food. The
sediment of the fish ponds should be right and conditioned in a way that they fit the required
conditions of producing fish. Information on the means of feeding, quality of the food taken by
the fish, quality of water in to which the pond is filled with as well as that of biomass of
phytoplankton enhanced should be relevant.
General research questions
1. At what rate will the ponds be filled and drained off water?
2. How will the soil nitrogenic level be evaluated?
3. What type of worms are favorable to feeding fish that enhance more growth for more
production?
4. What is the probability of increasing per capital use or consumption of fish products to a
higher rate?

What is already known about integrated fish farming
According to Joshi 2017, integration of fish farming is mostly successful on the concept
that there is no waste of any resource as its useful and the word waste is only a misplaced term.
He continues to state that, there has to be utilization of all available and relevant products to
enhance fish farming in the context that all that are to be produced are important for fish food
production. A better combination of the contents involved in production are also factors
determining fish production success. A project proposal report on fish farming in an integrated
context in Zambia discusses that, for successful production of fish farming in the most simplest
manner is to enhance productivity of both water by ensuring that is adequately contented to
enhance production and also improve on land production by improving its nitrogenic levels as
well as its water levels of the soils for vegetable production. This is very important as it ensures
adequate fish food production as well as increases inter-fish breeding. Increased food production
tonnes leads to increased vegetable production well as worms breeding to enhance adequate fish
food production. According to a research proposal on fish farming from Nikimu, fish protein is
important for manufacture of brain related treatments and thus they should be produced at a high
rate. This is very important as it has enhanced healing of brain related malfunctions.
