Site selection for Brackish water fish farms - Range of tidal variations
Unit 8 - Brackish and marine water fish farms
Range of tidal variations
Speed of tidal currents and its characteristics, pattern of water circulation are to be given due importance in the process of site selection. High currents of tidal water lead to soil erosion of the embankments. Therefore there must be a minimum distance of 50.00 meter between the creek and outer dike of the farm. The HFL (High flood level) and storm surge levels should also be studied to fix up the top levels of dikes.
