Supporting material

A rational approach to the design of wastewater-fed fishponds (Water Research, 1993)
Note: This design procedure has been modified to include consideration of the free ammonia (= dissolved ammonia gas) concentration in the fishpond water, which should be ≤0.5 mg N/l − see Chapter 10 of the WSP Design Manual for India and the next two links.

The Design of Wastewater-fed Fishponds: A Summary

Fish vs AIDS: Fish ponds are helping in the fight against AIDS (The Economist, 2007)
Clearly better if the World Fish Center promoted wastewater-fed fishponds!

The Importance of Fisheries for Development (id21, 2006) − only oblique reference to wastewater-fed aquaculture but worth reading anyway (especially David Stirling’s piece on p. 4 − more information here). FAO Aquaculture homepage

          be the future of wastewater-fed aquaculture.
