Detailed explanation-1: -Polyculture. Polyculture is the practice of culturing more than one species of aquatic organism in the same pond. The motivating principle is that fish production in ponds may be maximised by raising a combination of species having different food habits.

Detailed explanation-2: -Polyculture is the practice of raising a few selected species of fish in proper arrangements in a pond to maximize total fish production (composite fish-farming). Fast-growing suitable fish species with various feeding patterns are selected and seeded together in this manner.

Detailed explanation-3: -Polyculture. Polyculture is the production of more than one species of aquatic organism in the same aquaculture ponds or fields.

Detailed explanation-4: -Polyculture of fish, shellfish, and algae together is an example of integrated multitrophic aquaculture [5]. While Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is the most common fish cultured using the technique, it has also been used with rabbitfish (Siganus sp.) [6].

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer: The major difference between monoculture and polyculture fish farming is, in monoculture, single species of fish is cultured whereas in polyculture more than one species of fish is cultured in the same pond.
