Can African farmers switch to Indonesian Rice-fish systems?

I think Nigerian farmers can take advantage of Rice-fishing farming technique as a means of increasing capacity and productivity.
This technique involves introducing rice into the fish field. It is recommended because of its safety to both rice and fish yield, because they are protected from birds.  

Rice-fish farming has a long history in Indonesia. In general, farmers have developed the systems that are now used. The widely practiced rice-fish systems in irrigated areas of Indonesia are minapadi, penyelang and fish palawija.

The fish is believed to thrive in the dense rice plants, while it in turn provide fertiliser to the rice as  the droppings eat insects pest and help to  circulate oxygen around the rice field.

Fish produced from ricefields are mostly seedfish for restocking in grow out systems, such as floating net and bamboo cages, running water (concrete tanks) and irrigation canal systems.

Minapadi system - rice and fish are concurrently raised in the same area. A trench refuge (0.5 m wide and 0.3-0.4 m deep) is used.

The payaman system is another kind of minapadi system. The difference is that the rice-fish field is connected to a pond refuge instead of a trench
