Annex 10 - aquaculture research report : aquaculture research on combined small Indigenous species and large fish production in small-scale fish ponds in Kampong Cham province, Cambodia : family farms for the future
Abstract
This project explored the innovation of household fishponds using polyculture of small and large fish species with minimal inputs. The second phase of the project, known as Family Farms for the Future (FF4F) promoted the consumption of small indigenous species (SIS) of fish while attempting to refine aquaculture technologies, methodologies and practices. The report details implementation and key findings from this research in Cambodia. Organic fertilizers were used in greater quantities among households in Research Arm 2, contributing to better water quality in their fish ponds. This factor may have propagated the growth of SIS, rather than stocking density.
