Multi-species fish pond and nutrient balance

The efficiency of pond aquaculture largely depends on species combination, stocking density and ratio, and the quantity and quality of nutrient inputs. In semi-intensive polyculture, fish production is mainly based on natural productivity, which greatly depends on nutrients availability in the water...
