Survey on the potentialities of integrated fish farming, its economic and major constraints faced by the marginal and small farmers in Singrauli, Madhya Pradesh, India.

Abstract
Increase in human population, poor economic conditions of the farmers and the increasing demand for fish, have compelled the planners, in the recent past, to adopt Integrated Fish Farming systems (IFFs) in South East Asian countries including India. IFFs refer to the production, integrated management, and comprehensive use of aquaculture, agriculture, and livestock, with an emphasis on aquaculture. Since the IFF system involves lower cost and is environment friendly, it is economically sustainable and is being freely adopted. The aim of this study was therefore to investigate the economic importance of IFFs. In this study, different culture practice sites in the Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh in India were selected and a survey was conducted among the farmers with the help of a prepared questionnaire. This study was conducted in order to explore the various parameters to evaluate the potential of IFFs. Results of the assessment showed a significant potency of this integrated system in increasing the yield for the farmers. Additionally, the plausible major constraints faced by the marginal and small farmers are outlined here, to advocate for the ways to eliminate them for generating more income from this integrated system of farming.
