Fish Farming Tips: The era of depending on just one crop in farming is slowly changing. If you have a pond and you are only rearing fish in it or growing only makhana. So you are missing a huge earning opportunity. Many farmers of Bihar have now found a formula by which they are getting double profits from the same pond.
Makhana and fish farming together are giving huge profits. In this way, neither your cost nor your effort is doubled, but the money coming into your pocket definitely doubles. Let us tell you how a small pond is changing the fortunes of farmers.
Opportunity to earn double from same pond
The most beautiful thing about this unique idea is that both makhana and fish prove to be helpful to each other. When you grow makhana in a pond. So its big leaves cover the surface of the water. These leaves work to provide a natural shade to the fish by protecting them from the strong sunlight and scorching heat. Not only this.
Fish grow rapidly by eating the organic waste coming out of Makhana plants. Due to which the expense of fodder supplied from outside is reduced to a great extent. Due to this integrated farming, the ecosystem of the pond becomes so good that the quality of food also improves and the growth of fishes is also faster than in normal days.

Now let us talk about that thing for which farmers sweat day and night, that is, direct net profit. If you do makhana and fish farming separately, then you will have to pay the lease rent, labor and maintenance expenses twice. But in this combined system your cost is directly reduced to half. Water management has to be done only once and guarding has to be done only once.
When the Makhana crop is ready, it gets huge cash by selling it in the market and the fish coming from the same pond are sold at very high prices in the local market. By cutting expenses, this model is giving farmers three to four times more net profit every season compared to traditional crops.
