Lay out planning of aquafarm - Square and rectangular ponds
Unit 4- Layout planning of fish ponds
Square and rectangular ponds
A square shape ponds construction cost is less than cost of construction of rectangular shape ponds.
Total length of dyke required for construction of one hectare water spread area pond is 400 m. Where as in rectangular shape pond of same area require 500 m length of dyke. Hence the cost of construction of square shape pond is less. But from operation, maintenance and harvesting point of view, rectangular shape pond is preferable than square shape pond. As far as possible the ponds should be regular in shape. Irregular and oblong shape ponds are difficulty in construction, management and maintenance point of view.
