However, the effect of rice-fish co-culture on oxygen depletion has rarely been investigated. We constructed a rice-fish co-culture system in yellow catfish(Pelteobagrus fulvidraco) and freshwater shrimp(Macrobrachium nipponense) ponds using a new high-stalk rice variety, and conducted a field experiment to investigate the effect of rice-fish co-culture on water parameters and oxygen consumption. The results showed that rice-fish co-culture reduced the nutrients(total nitrogen, ammonia-N, total phosphorous and potassium) and the dissolved oxygen content in fish and shrimp ponds. However, they showed similar seasonal change of dissolved oxygen in the water of fish and shrimp ponds. Rice-fish co-culture reduced the total amount of oxygen consumption and optimized the oxygen consumption structure in pond. The respiration rates in water and sediment were significantly reduced by 66.1% and 31.7% in the catfish pond, and 64.4% and 38.7% in the shrimp pond, respectively, by additional rice cultivation. Rice-fish co-culture decreased the proportions of respiration in sediment and water, and increased the proportion of fish respiration. These results suggest that rice-fish co-culture is an efficient way to reduce hypoxia in intensive culture pond.展开更多

The results showed as follows: rice-fish culture improved the physical-chemical properties of arable layer soil of paddy field, extended growth period of rice, increased dry matter and LAI of different growth stages, improved three top leaves area, deterred the degeneration of leaves function, increased the diameter of stem, promoted the growth of roots and the formation of roots in the extended stem. At the same time, rice-fish culture extended the length of basal internodes, increased the number of internodes, uplifted the gravity of plant, and depressed the root vigor. For the grain yield and yield structure office, rice-fish culture decreased earillering ratio, spikelet/panicle and seed set percentage, increased grain weight. If variety choice and cultivation technology were controlled appropriately, rice-fish culture could increase the effective panicles and improve grain yield of rice.展开更多

This research has applied the indicators of ecological footprint and biocapacity to monitor the environmental conditions of Qingtian County, aiming to find the impact that the traditional agricultural production mode and the local inhabitants lifestyle have placed on the local environmental conditions as well as the role they have played in maintaining ecological balance, cultural inheritance and regional sustainable development. Results show that Qingtian County is characterized by a nearly breakeven total ecological balance, as opposed to Zhejiang Province, the world and other agricultural regions. However, compared with another rice-fish agricultural region, Congjiang County which enjoys a considerable ecological reserve, Qingtian County has consumed a greater amount of environmental resources. Specifically, about half of the ecological footprint of Qingtian County can be attributed to the cropland (50.8%) while the CO2 area only accounts for 11.2%, which is dramatically different from that of the modern industrialized regions. And a vast of percentage of energy is caused by the combustion of fuelwood which not only requires the land to absorb the CO2 emission it has generated but also occupies the forest where it has been chopped.展开更多

We conducted a survey with open-ended questions. Data were collected from 184 respondents (61 adopters and 123 non-adopters) randomly sampled from selected villages and analyzed using logistic regression and multi- response analysis. Family size, number of contacts with an extension agent, participation in extension-education activities, membership in social institutions and the presence of farm workers were the most important socio-economic factors for the adoption of rice-fish farming system. In addition, economic problems were the most common issue reported by adopters. Other issues such as lack of access to appropriate fish food, losses of fish, lack of access to high quality fish fingerlings and dehydration and poor water quality were also important to a number of farmers.展开更多

The results showed that rice-fish co-culture reduced the nutrients(total nitrogen, ammonia-N, total phosphorous and potassium) and the dissolved oxygen content in fish and shrimp ponds.

摘要为量化评估稻渔共养模式对生态系统结构与能量流动特征的影响。本研究于2025年在贵州省黔东南州台江县施洞镇贵州财经大学科技小院内开展试验,设置稻渔共养区与水稻单作区(对照区),采用Ecopath with Ecosim(EWE)软件构建生态通道模型,对比分析两系统营养结构、食物网特征与能量流动效率。结果表明稻渔共养系统最高营养级为3.09,低于对照区(3.90);系统食物网由牧食链与腐食链构成,共包含19个功能组,较对照区增加草鱼、鲤鱼、鲢、鳙等鱼类功能组,食物网复杂度提高。稻渔共养系统各营养级间能量转换效率显著高于对照区(Ⅱ~Ⅳ营养级转换效率分别为12.28%、7.11%、6.91%vs 10.17%、6.38%、2.78%),总能量转换效率达2.8%,高于对照区(1.9%)。系统连接指数为0.21,高于对照区(0.17),杂食性指数提高至0.27。Finn's循环指数高于对照区(0.27vs0.21),平均路径长度则低于对照区(3.43vs4.23)。总体表明,稻渔共养系统具有更高的能量利用效率与结构复杂度,但仍处于发育阶段,需进一步优化鱼类种群结构以提升系统稳定性。本研究为稻渔共养模式的生态效益评估与可持续生产提供了理论依据。

摘要In Myanmar,the advancement of the integrated rice-fish farming system legs behind rice monoculture farming,and there exists limited awareness of its advantages.Ecosystem services(ES)valuation plays a crucial role in integrated environmental decision-making,promoting sustainable agriculture practices,facilitating land-use planning,and ensuring food security in rural areas.Assessing the ES value in Delta region of Myanmar where rice-fish coculture is extensively practiced is essential for understanding the level of ES benefits derived from this farming system.The objective of this study is to promote the development of the rice-fish coculture system in delta region by estimating its ES value.We conducted a comprehensive examination of the Direct,Indirect,Option and Existence ES value of the rice-fish and rice monoculture in Maubin District,an area where rice-fish development research is being actively carried out within the delta region.The results revealed that the ES value of rice-fish coculture ecosystems in the study area was amounted to 28,588 US$/hm2/year.This value was 2.82%higher than rice monoculture system.Additionally,the rice-fish coculture system yielded product provisional values averaging 1,275 US$/hm2/year,representing a significant increase of 40.3%compared to rice monoculture farming.Our study shows that the adoption of rice-fish coculture farming system not only improves the ES value of the delta region,but also supports food security and socio-economic well-being.Furthermore,it provides valuable insights for policymakers on effective management policies for future development of the rice-fish coculture ecosystem.
