Review
Fish Culture in “Wish Ponds” can be “Banking in Water” for Peri-urban Households
Kishore Dhara and Uday Narayan Das
 
Abstract
Fish farming in “Wish Pond” system is a new concept of integrated aquaculture which is not only innovative but also beneficial one especially among the poor farmers in the rural & peri-urban areas. Aquaculture is gaining importance to compensate for the declining fish production from the capture source. “Wish Pond” aquaculture system can be done either integration with aquaponic system or without aquaponics in backyard of a household in rural or peri-urban area & can play important role in food & nutritional security in terms of protein requirement of the family besides income generation. This study focuses on the advantages & drawbacks of aquaponic system compared to solitary wish-pond system in terms of water quality & thereby fish production.
