Introduction
• Rice-Fish Culture Systems Based on the land
characteristics and source of water there are two
different systems of rice-fish culture.
• 1. Concurrent system- Rice and fish are cultured
simultaneously
• 2. Alternate system - Fish is cultured after harvesting
of rice
• There is also another system where rice and fish
culture started at the same time but fish culture
continues for the next season after harvest of rice.
Rice varieties used for rice
cum fish culture system
• The deep water rice varieties chosen for different states are
• PLA-2 ( Andhra Pradesh )
• IB-1, IB-2 , AR-1, 353-146 ( Assam ) ,
• BR-14, Jisurya ( Punjab )
• AR 61-25B, PTB-16 ( Kerala )
• TNR-1, TNR 2 (Tamil nadu)
• Jalamagan (Uttar Pradesh)
• Jaladhi-1, Jaladhi-2 (West Bengal)

characteristics of soil
Sl.no. Parameters Range
1. Sand 85.71- 96.62(%)
2 Salt 3.12- 11.69(%)
3. Clay 0.26-2.86(%)
4. pH 5.00-5.70
5. Organic carbon (%) 1.15-2.54(%)
6. Organic matter 8.24
7. Soil colour Light brown, blackish
8. Total nitrogen 0.22- 2.54(%)
9. Texture class Loamy soil, sandy
10. Available phosphorous 2.90-4.50 mg/100 gm
Steps for cultivation
Land selection Soil Preparation
Preparing paddy seed Soil preparation to sow seedling
Transplanting seedling Fertilizer application Weeding
Irrigation Pest control Paddy harvest
Steps for Fish culture
Preparation of small pond/ditch: 15-20 days after planting
paddy seedling, lime should be applied in the small
pond/ditch in rice field at a rate of 1kg/decimal.
Stocking of fish fry: 25-30 days after planting paddy, fish
fry is stocked in the small pond. The density of fry stocking
is 15-20 pieces of 4-6” fingerling per decimal.
.
Post-stocking management:
Fingerlings are kept in the small pond up to 10-15 days
after stocking. Here they are fed at a rate of 4-5% of total
biomass. After 15 days the fry roam inside the paddy field
where it also feeds. At this stage there must be at least 8 -10”
water in the field. Sometimes supplementary feed is given at
the rate of 1-2% of total fish biomass
Harvest
 Gears use for harvesting
fishes. It is simple bamboo
made basket called cane.
 The fish culture for the period
of 3-4 months in rice field, a
production of 200-300 Kgs/ha
achieved and while fish grown
for the period of 5-6 months;
400-500Kgs/ha yield
 Normally fish harvesting
before rice harvest
Benefits rice cum fish
culture system
 Improves the soil fertility & soil health.
 Increasing economic yield per unit area.
 Reduction in production costs.
 Decreases farm input requirements.
 Multiple income sources.
 Family income support.
 Efficient utilization of family labor.
 Enhance employment generation.
 Pollution free environment.
 Recycling of resources.
 Improves the status & livelihood of the farmer.
Drawbacks
Use of agrochemicals is often not feasible
Maintaining high water level may not be
always possible, considering the size and
growth of fish.
Fish like grass carp may feed on rice seedling
Fish like common carp and tilapia may uproot
the rice seedlings
