Suitability for commercial fish farming
Areas with suitability for commercial fish farming development and operation. Map derived from the combined suitability of five land-quality factors important for fish farming development and operation; net annual water loss from ponds through evaporation and seepage; soil and terrain suitability for ponds; potential for agriculture by-products and fertiliser inputs; potential for farm gate sales; and potential market demand.
