Abstract:
The problem of stocking fish types to fish pond in the Ghanaian setting is highlighted and
addressed using a simple but powerful algorithm. A case study of matching fish types of specific
quality requirement to a given pond quality at a given location in Ghana is illustrated. The
proposed model is used as a management tool to identify criteria which do not satisfy the desired
pond standards, and also to assist policy makers in making informed decisions for
implementation, monitoring and evaluation. These would ultimately reduce risk, uncertainty and
hazard associated with fish pond culture.
