Selection of fish while fish farming

Fish farming: At least 5-6 feet of water depth should be maintained for rearing all three types of fish like Mirror Carp, Grass Carp, and Silver Carp. Increase the diet to meet the requirements of the necessary nutrients. Add organic manure to the ponds for rearing fish and make proper arrangements for the nutrition of small fingerlings. Fill the tank with water and collect 150 fingerlings per 100 square meters of the pond area. Select all three types of fish. Maintain the water surface up to 6 feet in the pond, and feed the fishes 5-6 times at the rate of 4 percent body weight. Increase the quantity according to the body weight, and give a regular salt bath at an interval of 15 days to reduce microbial infection. Giving freshly ground boiled eggs and goat's liver promotes fish growth.
