Carp culture in the Philippines: polyculture with tilapia and other milkfish
Share
Abstract
The paper presents the result of the study on the polyculture of the different species of carp with tilapia and milkfish. Polyculture does not hamper the growth of primary species but rather increased the production. However, bighead carp and silver grow faster compared to other species.
