Site selection for pond

·         Good water retention capacity of pond

·         Clay, clay-loam, silty-clay-loam are preferable kinds of soil for fish pond site.

·         Water quality of the site is an important factor because fish growth depends on it. Survival and growth of fish highly depends on ambient water temperature. A water temperature between 28 °C- 32 °C is generally good for fish farming.

·         Good transportation system
