fish rice rule
(pawb.social)
what about the poop
Fertilizer, presumably
It's amazing how much of biodiversity in agriculture boils down to "and then something poops on something else".
Are the fish congregating because they see the cameraperson? That looks way too high density.
They have possibly become trained to come towards a person who feeds them.

One major problem with flooded rice fields is that it promotes growth of anaerobic bacteria that cause quite significant methane emission. Of course you can't forbid people from growing rice as a lot of people depends on it, but it's definitely a problem.
Apparently integrating fish like this reduces the methane emissions:
In California rice fields, golden shiner minnows introduced by the project have reduced methane coming off fallowed rice paddies by 64 percent.

Gotta squeeze in a wasabi crop for the sushi field to be complete
Lots of these places are using ducks to control pests as well.
Same method, but I prefer crawfish.

so that's why ragusea made a video on ricefish
