the food is avaibble in all parts of the pond
Disadvantages are:Most of these fish breed only during monsoon.Good seeds are not available every time.You require a large reservoir to store fish.

1. They grow well without any competition for food and space and are also useful to each other 2. They yeild of fish is also very high
food available in all the parts of the pond is used up.
aspects or phases of fish culture
One problem with such composite fish culture is that many of these fish breed onlyduring monsoon. Even if fish seed is collected from the wild, it can be mixed with that of other species as well. So, a major problem in fish farming is the lack of availability of goodquality seed. To overcome this problem, ways have now been worked out to breed these fish in ponds using hormonal stimulation. This has ensured the supply of pure fish seed in desired quantities.
In this system both local and imported fish species, a combination of five or six fish species is used in a single fish pond. These species are selected so that they do not compete for food among them having different types of food habitats.As a result the food available in all the parts of the pond is used. Fish used in this system include catla and silver carp which are surface feeders, rohu a column feeder and mrigal and common carp which are bottom feeders. Other fish will also feed on the excreta of the common carp and this helps contribute to the efficiency of the system which in optimal conditions will produce 3000-6000 kg of fish per hectare per year.
The species do not compete for food among them due to their different types and food habits.The food available in the entire pond is utilized.Fish yield from the pond is increased.
