Quoting Tom Miles <[email protected]>:
KC>>One possible name they may have had for the "black goop" from
oxbow lakes and
aquaculture site,s that they may have spread on their croplands, may
have been "Fish Manure."
A practice that we did see but the water was pumped into a pond from
the Amazon. The fish manure from the pond was spread on the land.
All used to replenish the TP land. Not claimed as a traditional
practice. The farmer had to deal with the occasional piranha pumped
from the river.
# Merely "pumping water from the Amazon" is far different from
collecting the waste from fish raised in a "contained" pond, and
spreading it on the fields for the intended purpose of adding
nutrients to the soil. It is important to know the "fish poo density"
in the water. Obviously, 1 pound of fish poo per gallon would be
expected to have a far more observable effect on plant growth than
would a "fish poo density" of 1 pound per 1,000 gallons.
# I would not expect the Farmer to have had much of a problem in his
fields with Piranhas that went through an irrigation pump. They would
be well macerated, and would actually be a benefit to his crops.
Macerated Piranhas would provide nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorous to
his crops.
