A community fish refuge is a form of stock enhancement or a fish conservation measure that is intended to improve the productivity of rice field fisheries. The idea behind refuge ponds is to create dry season refuges or sanctuaries for brood fish in seasonally inundated rice fields. Refuge ponds can be man-made ponds or natural ponds that can hold water throughout the year. (Adapted from Joffre, Olivier & Kosal, Mam & Kura, Yumiko & Pich, Sereywath & Thuok, Nao. (2012). COMMUNITY FISH REFUGES IN CAMBODIA – LESSONS LEARNED. http://dx.doi.org/10.13140/2.1.3770.5285)
Note
Fish refuge ponds are typically not privately owned, as the connecting rice fields become open access when inundated. Access to such fishing grounds and the resources found there can only be managed collectively. Therefore, using refuge ponds to enhance rice field fisheries requires a community-based approach rather than by one based on individual, household, or private sector initiatives.
Digitaria iburua, commonly known as iburu, is a grass species native to west and west-central tropical Africa, which is cultivated as a grain crop known as black fonio. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitaria_iburua)
Monensin belongs to the polyether monocarboxylic acid chemical family, and it is produced by the fermentation of a Streptomyces cinnamonensis strain. Monensin is used in the prevention of coccidiosis in poultry caused by E. necatrix, E. tenella, E. acervulina, E. brunette, E. maxima, and E. mivati. (Anadón, Arturo & Martínez-Larrañaga, Maria. (2013). Veterinary Drug Residues. Coccidiostats. Encyclopedia of Food Safety. 3. 63-75. 10.1016/B978-0-12-378612-8.00246-8. )
