The increasing use of plastic-based dam lining in pond aquaculture is posing a danger to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. These can be replaced with more environmentally friendly technologies such as the clay mixtures that are still being experimented on. Besides, the differences in productivity between plastic lined ponds and non-lined earthen ponds does not seem to have been established.
