<b>Dataset about "Comparing production and economic efficiency of the common carp with til

Rwanda is the geographic scope for this dataset comparing three fish species in mono- and polyculture systems. It contains results from a 240-day experiment conducted from March to November 2021 at the Rwasave Fish Farming and Research Station. The data, made available by author Rashidi Mwimba, includes calculations and key results from seven experimental treatments.

Use Cases

• Compare fish growth and yield between monoculture and polyculture systems based on the described experimental treatments.
• Analyze the economic efficiency of introducing common carp to Rwandan aquaculture based on the study's key results.
• Model optimal species combinations for pond aquaculture based on the performance data from carp, tilapia, and catfish.

Strengths

• Experimental data covers a defined 240-day period from March to November 2021.
• Includes results from seven distinct treatments (three monoculture, four polyculture).
• Data is associated with a scientific publication, suggesting peer-reviewed context.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The dataset is small (111.4 KB), indicating a limited scope of recorded variables.
