Abstract

Aquaculture has a potential for contributing significantly to the enhancement of farm income and hence towards solving the poverty problem among smallholders. This study attempts to evaluate the economics of mixed farming among sampled farmers in Central Perak and to assess the contribution of aquaculture to the overall farm income. Income from aquaculture was found to be substantial and has the potential to increase further if farm resources are allocated optimally or a fully integrated agriculture-aquaculture system is practised.
