The Future of DrylandsCombating Desertification through Fish Farming

The Future of Drylands: Combating Desertification through Fish Farming [For many years the relationship between fish farming and agriculture has been built on recycling the discharged water from the cultivated fields into the aquaculture systems. This discharged water was sometimes full of pesticides and chemicals that were hazardous to both fish and humans. But the proposed integrated aquaculture and agriculture system is to work in the opposite direction: the drainage water of the aquaculture is recycled for agriculture.

Abstract

[For many years the relationship between fish farming and agriculture has been built on recycling the discharged water from the cultivated fields into the aquaculture systems. This discharged water was sometimes full of pesticides and chemicals that were hazardous to both fish and humans. But the proposed integrated aquaculture and agriculture system is to work in the opposite direction: the drainage water of the aquaculture is recycled for agriculture. In this case, no pesticides or hazards are transferred to the fish and, at the same time, plants are irrigated with naturally fertilized water, which has very limited chances of negative impact on the environment or human health.]
