| description | Sustainability of any aquaculture venture especially for enhanced food
security and socio-economic development of the target population is the
challenge of the new millennium. With the right environment and best
management practices (BMPs), the envisaged expectations of the
integrated investment can be achieved. This paper compares the economic
performance and environmental friendliness of two adaptive integrated
aquaculture systems at Njala University fish farm, Sierra Leone. The
studies were carried out for six months (June-November, 2014). Fish,
rice cum piggery and fish, rice cum poultry production integration
platforms were set up to perfect the ideas of integrated fish farming
in Sierra Leone. Water quality parameters measured biweekly included:
dissolved oxygen, water temperature, pH, water hardness, water
alkalinity, ammonia, nitrate, BOD and nitrite. These parameters were
determined using Jenway analytical probes and Pondlab multi-parameter
kits. Three samples were collected in thoroughly washed 600ml water
bottles at each sampling point. Water quality parameters determined in
the studies were found to be within the recommended range for the
culture of tropical fish species and were not also statistically
significant (p |

(ARP) was slightly acidic. Economic analysis gave a negative
incremental benefit and Net Present Value (NPV) for the fish, rice cum
piggery synergy in the first year. The calculated benefit/cost ratio
for the pig, rice cum piggery production was positive but below 1
(0.87).The system had a negative NPV (-Le 2,990,708), and a payback
period of 1.33 years; a net profit of Le 8,944,000 with a gross profit
margin of 0.46. The fish, rice cum poultry production, however, gave a
positive NPV (Le 841,930.32 (US189.3)) and a cost - benefit ratio
of 1.02. Net profit, Gross Profit Margin and the payback period
calculated for the investment were Le 13,892,000, 0.34 and 0.98 years,
respectively. The poultry project broke even and payback in the first
year while the piggery project did not but can only break even and pay
back in the second year of production. The culture of genetically poor
fish fingerlings, high construction costs of the adaptive research
platform, scale of operation and pricing of the farm produce were seen
as major causes of reduced profitability. The results obtained from the
study, clearly indicate that the two integrated synergies have the
potential to help solve the problems of hunger and poverty in Sierra
Leone, especially among the rural poor that constituted more than 70%
of the population.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1684-5358</identifier><identifier>ISSN: 1684-5374</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1684-5374</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.18697/ajfand.79.15670</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Nairobi: Rural Outreach Program</publisher><subject>Adaptability ; Aquaculture ; Benefit cost analysis ; Best practice ; Cost-benefit ; Economic Statistics ; Fish ; grassroots farmers ; Integrated aquaculture ; Mariculture ; Methods ; Poultry ; Sierra Leone ; Sustainable agriculture ; Water quality</subject><ispartof>African journal of food, agriculture, nutrition, and development : AJFAND, 2017-07, Vol.17 (3), p.12325-12342</ispartof><rights>Copyright 2017 - African Journal of Food, Agriculture, Nutrition and Development</rights><rights>COPYRIGHT 2017 Rural Outreach Program</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-b5110-4824f919f3cd3480de27b5cf21f2938a751604a15586dd0c64305597b568708a3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-b5110-4824f919f3cd3480de27b5cf21f2938a751604a15586dd0c64305597b568708a3</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,864,27924,27925,79426</link.rule.ids></links><search><creatorcontrib>Olapade, O.J</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Bangura, H</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Tholley, J.B</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Momoh, R.R</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Department of Aquaculture and Fisheries Managemen t - School of Natural Resources Management, Njala University, Njala, Sierra Leone</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Department of Extension and Rural Sociology School of Agriculture, Njala University, Njala, Sierra Leone</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Faculty of Agriculture and Food Sciences University of Makeni (UNIMAK) , Sierra Leone</creatorcontrib><title>ECONOMIC DIFFERENTIAL OF INTEGRATED FISH, RICE CUM PIGGERY AND FISH, RICE CUM POULTRY PRODUCTION SYSTEMS</title><title>African journal of food, agriculture, nutrition, and development : AJFAND</title><description>Sustainability of any aquaculture venture especially for enhanced food
