16S rRNA metagenomics data on the bacterial communities in integrated poultry-fish farm ponds.

In an integrated poultry-fish (IPF) farming system, fish and bird are reared simultaneously. It is a common practice in Sub-Saharan Africa countries like Nigeria, Cameroon, Madagascar, and Benin, offering economic benefits to farmers and minimizing farm running costs. It seems like another way for farmers to manage poultry waste as it is a common practice in IPF farm settings to feed reared fishes with wastes emanating from the poultry.
