excelsiorfarm: Award ke, na you biko oh . . .Lol, i like the idea but i am just not sure how it will work that much in Nigeria without being around Ilaje or those water areas close to ocean or river.... and security might be a huge issue too, they use it in Ghana for Tilapia though, so i heard and saw on some youtube videos |

@ femmmy, I watched a documentary video organized by Multi feed, that is what multi feed use----- very mighty cages, more than 20ft deep and radius. But fully automated...feeding, harvest,processing,packaging. Everything is fully automated. Ahh! Oyibo pass us oo |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by mozek24: 7:03pm On Feb 03, 2015 |
Insecurity is a very serious issue on our water ways |

Fhemmmy:Just like what oga mozek and excelaior pointed out that security is the bane of this cage culture, it brings to mind a friend of mine who tried on a small scale two years back in warri. As he was planning on Harvesting so also the asawana boys were planning to harvest also Lool. They woke up one morning to see no single fish left. To eradicate theft one has employ the thieves to safeguard the cage. www.agricnetwork.com 1 Like |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Kingsteve(m): 11:54am On Feb 06, 2015 |
Serious question please. How many bags of let's say...Vital feeds, (or any other not-so-expensive feed, which will still get the job done) will be enough for fingerlings to maturity? From the comments so far, it seems that feeding is the financially challenging aspect of the business. I'm still contemplating if it's a business I can engage in, considering I already have the main resources for startup.(Land and Borehole) I intend to purchase an 18ft by 18ft collapsible pond, which I heard can Contain 2k fish max. However, the cost of feeding seems to be the impending obstacle in this business. Is there a shortcut to feeding the fish, or must one really budget big for their feeding? Thanks, as I look forward to hearing from the experts. Cheers! |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by bukalino(m): 3:11pm On Feb 07, 2015 |
I have been reading all these write ups with keen interest. it's quite revealing i must confess. You guys should keep it up. Please any fish farmer in Enugu in this forum? I need information on what the business looks like in the coal city. I have an intention of setting up a fish farm in Enugu but don't really have a detailed info on it's viability. thank you |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 10:00am On Feb 08, 2015 |
Kingsteve: It depends on the number of fish you want to stock to ascertain the number of bags to maturity. Feeding takes 70% of the cost of production and there is no shortcut in feeding, what you give is what you get. It's one thing to have the resources for start up and the technical know- how is another. I will advice you get Two collapsible tanks for sorting purposes. www.agricnetwork.com |
