A Scoping Study: finfish production in cotton farm ring-tanks

Date Issued:2000-06-30

Abstract

The CRDC provided $4,000 for DPI, specifically BIARC, to conduct field investigations and construct economic models to assess the potential for farming fish using water from farm ring-tanks. Four economic models were constructed using three species and four different production scenarios. The fish fauna in six ring-tanks in the Dalby region was also investigated to assess the potential impact of agricultural chemicals. This information was then used to produce the following document outlining the benefits and difficulties of fish production in on-farm water storages.
