Catfish Farming in Nigeria – Because of its unique taste and high nutritional value, catfish delicacies have become increasingly popular in Nigerian homes, restaurants and hotels. In recent times, the demand for it is a lot higher than catfish farmers can supply thereby making catfish farming in Nigeria a profitable investment to launch into.
Catfish farming is a money spinning venture as you will start generating 100% return of investment.
However, the catfish business requires knowledge, skill, together with time and effort to make it successful (knowledge + skill + time + effort = success). This is because if any of these values is neglected, it is easy to run into losses. The good news is that if you follow the simple catfish farming guidelines mentioned in this article, you will be guaranteed a stable and steady income throughout the year as it is not a seasonal business.

Capital
Catfish farming in Nigeria as a business can be started with as much amount of money as you have. In fact I recommend you start on a small scale and then grow with experience. As time goes by, you will become accustomed to tackling the risks involved in the business. Initial capital is needed for the construction of the pond, for acquiring land and buildings if it is not self owned, labour, licensing and equipment. Running costs includes cost of feeds, getting fingerlings, fuel/electricity.
Construction of Ponds
Depending on the capital available, you can construct any of these ponds;

Earthen Pond: This is digging up the soil (usually clay) to create a pond.
Concrete Pond: Here, blocks are used to construct the pond above the ground level, using cement, gravel and sand.
Fibre Pond: These are fibre tanks (e.g. GP tanks). The advantage of this pond is that it can be moved from place to place.

The following should be put into consideration when constructing your pond for your catfish business

Availability of constant water supply – This can be achieved by digging a borehole or well. Rain water can also be channeled into tanks
Depth of the pond – Depth affects the oxygen level. The ideal depth is 4 to 6feet.
A minimum of three ponds should be constructed in the area. Each pond for different sizes of fishes.
The pond should be close to steady power supply.

Equipment Needed

Pumping Machine and Pipes
Water Testing Equipment
Tanks
Baskets and Buckets
Seines and Nets
Electricity Generator Set
Pond Aerators

Management Tips and Practices
Before starting the business, it is very important to draw out a good business plan. It should be comprehensive and detailed as the success of the business largely depends on it. As catfish takes 4 to 5 months to grow into table size, expenses to be made through out the period should be carefully laid out.
Here are tips to help you successfully run your catfish farming In Nigeria :

I will advise that a beginner starts with juvenile fishes instead of fingerlings.
Apply lime to the ponds before you introduce the fishes. Lime will kill all possible bacteria and reduce the acidic content of the water that can affect the fish.
Do not overcrowd the fishes. 1000 catfishes per acre is recommended.
Though catfish can survive in a wide range of temperature, the ideal water temperature is 85°. The temperature affects the rate of feeding in catfish. They eat more in warm temperature.
Overfeeding should be avoided as much as possible. Unconsumed feed will decompose and pollute the water thereby affecting the survival and growth of the fishes.
Feed fishes regularly as they tend to feed on themselves when they are hungry. At least twice daily.
Catfish feed should be bought from reputable dealers as only quality feed should be used.
The pond should be kept clean at all times. Only clean and clear water should be used. Impurities reduce the oxygen level in the water. The water should be changed regularly.
Proper marketing arrangement should be made before the end of the growing season. Harvest size is usually determined by the buyer.
The farmer should be observant. Sudden behavioral changes are tell – tale signs that something is wrong with the fishes.

Fish Farming Business Plan in Nigeria / Feasibility Study
Some time ago, I was invited to do a thirty minutes presentation on fish farming in Nigeria. I was invited a club who were mainly women. So they wanted to teach their people entrepreneur stuffs. When I go there, I had to ask them to ask me questions first about the Fish farming business so that I will know the area to work on since they all said they knew the business. 80 percent of the participants asked me a similar question and what was it? They wanted to know why fish farming business is very lucrative Nigeria and why it has become an increasingly lucrative business. The simple truth is that the high preference and demand of fish over meat has been one of the most prominent reasons why the fish farming has become one of the most lucrative businesses you can trust your capital on.

This scene is also applicable all over the world not just in Nigeria alone. In one of my previous article on catfish, I told us that catfish is one of the most consumed fish in Nigeria because of its many advantages over the other kinds of fish. What are these advantages? They are as follows; it tastes good, rich in protein, easy to breed, and is highly resistant. So many people are very scared about this business because they feel that the fishes are very difficult to rear but that is not the case because fish can actually survive in any temperature and climatic conditions. What about their feeds? Let me shock you. How do the fishes in the river survive? How do they feed and how do they survive some of the worst weather? Well, it may interest you to know that fishes can feed on vegetables which make it a profit maximizing business to venture into.
Are you worried about how or where to sell your fishes when they are due for sales? Hmm. In this business, you don’t have to worry at all about that because there is an already made market for your business at the right price at all times. Now, let me give you a hint on where you can actually sell your fish. They can be sold to restaurants, market sellers and grocery stores. Recently, we had a research result by some private firm and it showed that most of the retailers who buy their fishes does so from fish farms that are very far away from their shops. What does this mean? It means that there is a higher transportation cost on these sale and yet these guys still go the extra mile to buy these fish. This means a lot then. Do you know that this will surely affect the price of fish as they are sold. But yet these retailers are still in the business making gains daily. If that is the case with them, what about you who is the supplier? But that is not your issue because at all. You are the supplier and those who are retail buyers know how to balance their cheque book. What am I trying to say here in essence is that, the fact that these retailers go the distance to buy fish shows how lucrative this business really is?
So the secret to this business will be to set a fish farm in a strategic position which will automatically bring the fish farm closer to the retailers and guess what? This will be the killer my friend because you are playing the cards the retailer wants and they will pay whatever amount to buy from you because it will be stress free for them to transport it to their market place. Such an idea will be a very welcomed idea by your loyal customers and thereby increasing patronage.

So you have to make the right choice when making your decision on the location of your fish farming. Another aspect to look out for is the environment where the fish pond or farm will be located. This have a long way to determine the kind of fish pond you will be constructing. If you know about fish business, you will understand that the fishes which are in a swampy areas, there is a recommended pond that should be constructed. But in areas where is no too much water there is a special pond that should be constructed. Please don’t joke with this aspect at all. Because the location of your fish pond is a vital factor to consider when starting your fish farming business in Nigeria.

What is Your Reason for starting a Fish Farm?
There are some questions that are very pertinent to ask yourself before embarking on this kind of business. One of such is the question of “why am I into this business? This is a very vital question to ask yourself and answering this question will give you an edge in this business. You must have a well defined goal in mind. And that goal must be specific. Because as you journey in this business, one thing will keep you going and that is your goal. Stating your motive for starting this business must be clear and also very detailed. One thing I know is that “inspiration helps you start, motivation keeps you on the tract and goal gives you the strength to finish. Why do you have to state your motive because your motive will determine the business plan that will reflect on the business plan and business strategy. There is also the aspect of you deciding whether you want to go into commercial fish farming or you want to go into a subsistence farming just to feed your family with the fish farm.
Cost of Feeding
When talking about the cost of feeding in fish farming, this actually because the fish feeds varies and this depends on the quality of feed you a farmer intends to have for his fish farm. If you want an enhanced fish feeds then you should also be mindful that this cost than the others but you will see the difference with the growth of the fish. In fish farming feeds, we have different types of feeds. We have the local and the foreign feeds. One thing should be stated clearly here. These feeds won’t cost same price because they don’t produce same results. With the foreign feeds, you will grow your fish faster, bigger, healthier etc than what the local feed will do for you.
You won’t just jump into this business without putting into consideration what it will take to set up a successful fish farm. This is very important. Ensure you determine what it will take to achieve success in the business. All the factors that you need to start a fish farm must be available. And what are these determinants? They include the human and material resources and these factors should considered. And also the fish pond, the types of workers needed, do you need trained staffs or staffs that are not really trained who will learn on the job? Etc, , sources of water, feed etc These are some of the things that you will need to consider before starting a fish farming business in Nigeria.
Set Up Your Farm
There are factors to consider before setting up a fish pond in Nigeria and I will list but a few for your consumption.
Pond Construction
According tom our experts, it will be more economical to adopt the pond culture. This is the most commercially employed methods operated in Nigeria. It is cheaper when compared to tanks fish construction.
Cost of Labor
This particular issue must be followed up metinously because the cost for labour is not a static one. It carries and what you could know yesterday might not be what it is today. Which means the price for the construction of a fish pond will change as time progresses. So if I give a figure now, it is likely that you will meet or see another figure tomorrow.
One of the very advantages is that it makes room for natural biological productivity to occur in the fish farming system. There are new innovation which this will bring such as the use of cages or net enclosures to allow more effective collection and growing of fry.
Note that one of the most important factors to consider is that, the fish farm has the capacity to produce the greatest yield in the smallest area available at the minimum cost.
Living Conditions
Now you have to pay attention to what I will be telling you. According to our experts, ensure the temperature of the fish pond should not be below 28 degrees Celsius or 82 degrees Fahrenheit. The reason is that fishes need a water temperature of 28-30 degrees Celsius to survive and anything outside this will put their lives in danger. The PH level should be very much checkmated. The PH level should be so suitable with sufficient oxygen which will help to enhance the survival of living organisms. Pollutants such as sulphur should be taken away from your fish pond.
