In the context of fish farming, resin is generally considered better than glass due to its durability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of maintenance. Resin ponds are less prone to cracking and breaking compared to glass, which can be damaged by temperature fluctuations and physical impacts. Additionally, resin is lighter and easier to install, making it a more practical choice for large-scale fish farming operations.

Data from a study published in the Journal of Aquaculture Research and Development (2018) indicates that resin ponds have a lower failure rate than glass ponds. The study found that resin ponds had a failure rate of 2.5% over a 10-year period, while glass ponds had a failure rate of 15%. This significant difference in durability is primarily due to the inherent weaknesses of glass, which can crack under pressure and temperature changes. Furthermore, resin is more cost-effective in the long run, as it requires less maintenance and replacement compared to glass. According to the study, the total cost of ownership for resin ponds was 20% lower than that of glass ponds over a 15-year period.
