“…The zooplankton population in the rice-fish system is higher as compared to the reports in the irrigated (Saha and Ramakrishna, 1962;Li and Pan, 1992), rainfed shallow (Sinhababu et al, 1992) and deep water (Das et al, 1991) rice-fish farming situation.…”

“…Studies on the food and feeding habit of fish in this system is an important aspect for optimizing the fish productivity. Some information is available on the plankton profile of the irrigated rice field mainly (Saha and Ramakrishna, 1962;Li and Pan, 1992) and deep water ecology (Das et al, 1991) and also in shallow rainfed rice-fish seed system (Sinhababu et al, 1992), but not in the rice-fish system. We studied the seasonal changes in the zooplankton population in the system.The work was carried out during 1996 and 1997 in a rainfed lowland (30-80 cm water depth) rice-fish system of 1 ha area at the experimental farm at CRRI.…”

Integration of aquaculture in vast rainfed waterlogged lowlands can be an acceptable option for improvement of farm productivity and income in the country, particularly in the easter India. An adaptable technology on rice-fish, prawn, vegetable, fruits and other crops diversified farming system called Rice-fish System· has been developed at Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack for waterlogged rainfed lowlands (Sinhababu and Venkateswarlu, 1995). Studies on the food and feeding habit of fish in this system is an important aspect for optimizing the fish productivity. Some information is available on the plankton profile of the irrigated rice field mainly (Saha and Ramakrishna, 1962; Li and Pan, 1992) and deep water ecology (Das et al., 1991) and also in shallow rainfed rice-fish seed system (Sinhababu et al., 1992), but not in the rice-fish system. We studied the seasonal changes in the zooplankton population in the system.

“…Among fishes, the weed control efficiency of grass carp was found to be highest (63%) followed by silver barb (61%) and common carp (47%). Among Indian carps, only rohu was able to reduce the weed biomass and showed weed control efficiency of 23% (Sinhababu et al ., 2013). Many fishes play an important role in biocontrol of rice pests such as stem borers, snails, hoppers, gall midge etc.…”

The exponential increase in population and economic activities has led to the intensification of agriculture and aquaculture in developing countries. The Green Revolution in the 1960s and Blue Revolution in the 1980s were giant steps in this direction to meet the food demand of the burgeoning population. It resulted in the increased use of modern technology for the intensification of agriculture and aquaculture in India. However, coping with the ever-increasing demand for food has adversely impacted our environment. Hence, it is imperative that we explore sustainable practices that enable us to produce more food without compromising environmental integrity and human health. Integrated rice-fish farming is one such solution that optimizes use of resources, maintains sustainable environmental conditions and provides socio-economic stability to the farmers. This review summarizes the various integrated rice-fish cultivation systems practiced in India including traditional practices, their importance, recent development in this area and the existing challenges.

“…In developing countries, the mats of Salvinia could cause a devastating impact on the use of waterways for transportation, farm lands, and towards communities which depends on fish for local consumption. This species is also known as a weed of paddy field that alters the production by competing for nutrient, water and space (Sinhababu et al, 2013).…”

Macrophytes are plants that adapted to wet environment and easily be found all over the world. Macrophytes have structures that are more complex, interdependent and physically substantial; make them one of the important components of rivers, lakes and any other wetland ecosystems. Macrophytes can be categorized into four different types; emergent, floating-leaved, submerged and free-floating plants based on their structure and life form. Light, water current and wind flow are among the most important limiting factors of macrophytes occurrence in the water system. Environmental conditions such as lotic and lentic environment influence the limiting factors and would be the key for successful macrophytes distribution. Each macrophyte species could respond differently to different environmental circumstances. It also has been widely used as subject for biological indicator of ecosystem health. This paper aimed to describe the general environmental condition for macrophytes distribution, discuss their role and impact of excessive growth.
