Background Information

Production of fish ponds had been carried out for many years in the Far East, and it was estimated that for a given area a well stocked fish pond could produce far more protein than any other type of livestock operation. In wet cultivation of rice, the flooded paddy fields could be stocked with fish to produce a useful fish crop in addition to the rice. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) had been helping in the distribution of Tilapia, a fish with special qualities for pond breeding.
