Pretty cool pumps for draining the pond for maintenance and cleaning.
Water is used to flood rice paddies and the top layer of mud is used in fields as fertilizer.

Very cool. What kind of fish were they harvesting?

Looks like they do catfish, tilapia, and silver barb for fresh water.
Shrimp, mussels and prawns for brackish water.

A relative is big into anti-Talapia, very much a bottom feeder.

That type is very common, she says they eat a lot of trash, poop & such.

Yep, watched a show a few years ago about a fish farm. I can't remember what type of fish but when they were harvested they put Tilapia in there to clean up all the nasty stuff

I prefer to eat wild caught fish as opposed to farm raised, but I don't have a problem with bottom feeders. I love redfish, lobster, crabs, etc. It's recycling-the fish meat is not the same as what the fish eat.

I also do not have a problem eating fruits and vegetables that are grown in dirt, with fertilizer.

For a pump on wheels, it looks like they take great pride in their machine with the fancy paintjob and cleanliness.
