  Integrated fish farming system with vegetables using poultry manure as a fertilizer can play an important role in increasing food production, income generation, employment opportunities and waste removal. Thus, the main objective of this study was to evaluate the productivity and profitability of fish-vegetable (beetroot and carrot) integrated aquaculture system. The experiment was conducted from December 2020 to March 2021 in Hawassa University, Ethiopia. For this experiment, one pond with a size of 10 m × 15 m × 1.7 m for fish stocking and 114 m2 lands for vegetable growth was used. In this pond 200 fingerlings of Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) were stocked at a stocking density of 1.3 fish/m2 with average weight of 7.84 g. The pond was fertilized with 0.1 kg/m2/week of poultry manure. In addition to this, the f.. View more»
