Rotation concept has been practiced based on the nature of aquaculture and agriculture in a given region. Attached pictures show the farming of winter agricultural crops (e.g. wheat – alfalfa) in fish ponds. In temperate climates such as in Egypt, and in situations where Nile tilapia leads aquaculture cropping, fish harvest usually takes place before possible cold spills. If this is the case, ponds remain unemployed for several months till weather warms-up and becomes suitable to fish farming. Utilizing fish ponds in farming agricultural crops such as wheat or alfalfa is considered a means of magnifying the productivity and economics of land. Accomplished trials show an economic feasibility of this type of rotation.
