Integrated livestock-fish farming system

A farming system characterised by a concurrent or sequential linkage between aquaculture and livestock farming activities. This linkage can be either direct (i.e., the activites occur on adjacent sites), indirect (e.g., the manure produced in a poultry farm is used to fertilise a fish pond), or both.
