barby008: You have a good hatchery ma. Most hatchers have experienced something like this but you shouldnt let it pull u down. Fries mortality has different causes like you ph, feed, poor water mgt, stres, temperatur, etc. You may give the house some hint about your hatchery mgt from day 1 till when your hatchlings start dying so we can know were you are getting it wrong and correct you or get an experience farmer to check you farm out. More also hatchlings dont need any medication during their early stage, proper mgt matter most 2 Likes |

barby008:Hello ma'am, have you consulted the farmer under whom you received training for 3 months, he should be in a good position to identify where you are getting it wrong. By the way i love the pix of your farm. |

aquadude15:[quote author=barby008 post=37395538][/quote] Once dey finish hatching,I remove d hatching net n siphon out the dead eggs n other wastes. I share dem into oda troughs weneva I see DAT dey are too much. I run a flow through system and i start feeding dem after 48 hours of hatching. I feed about 4/5 tyms with artemia mixed with little aqua medic aid to prevent diseases and siphon every morning. But at a tym,dey stop eating and suddenly start dying massively till the troughs go empty. ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by barby008: 8:07pm On Aug 27, 2015 |
GOLDLOVER: Yeah. I do call them to update them and most times,dey tell me to dilute the aqua medic aid and add in their water but still,no changes. In fact,the farmer once came to hatch for me but the same thing happened. I also get my broodstock from them coz they breed with them too. And about the pics,thank you. ![]() |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by aquadude15: 8:21pm On Aug 27, 2015 |
barby008: You style is cool but i want to chip in some advise. You dont feed your fries after 48hrs, you have to wait until the 4th day. When you run Flow through and your water is crystal clear and odour free you may stop, that is if your vat is not over populated because the force of the water might cause stress and may result to mortality. Feeding twice or thrice daily is ok and you dont need To add medication to there feed. You also need to check your artemia because it might be fake. I guess you are over Feeding because you dont need to siphon with in the first week. And lastly you may need to cover you vat to make them active. Lets wait for our big broses contribution 1 Like |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by barby008: 8:42pm On Aug 27, 2015 |
aquadude15: Thank you so much for the advice. I would reduce the feeding,check my artemia and cover the vat. Permit me to ask few questions 1. If I have to wait till the fourth day,won't dey starve since their yolk sac is absorbed about 48hrs after hatching?? 2. You mentioned that I can stop water if ts clear and odour free and not over populated,i thought drops of water gives dem oxygen as I CNT afford an aerator or oda necessary equipment for now. 3. If deres no need for medications, won't dey be prone to disease as dey re still vulnerable?? 4. If I don't need to siphon in the first week, how about dere wastes?? 5. Lastly,I hope tapoline is OK to cover them? I am sorry if I ask too much questions Abeg,big bros,make una contribute and help solve my mystery. Pleaseee ![]() |

[quote author=barby008 post=37395538][/quote] I like your determination, please don't allow this to pull you down. I was once in that situation not untill now that I can just wake up and hatch without having any problem( with good broodstock) having said that. I will advice u do this, change the source of your broodstock. Check your water PH. Feed after d 3rd day, feeding shld be minimal. @ d edges of ur trough. Please are u related to one mrs Aminat, she works in abuja don't know d surname? |

barby008: 1. Their yolk sac will be absorbed on the 3rd day then you may feed on the 4th day 2. the force of the Flow through might stress them abit, u may reduce the water coming in to the barest minimum or stop it. They cant exhaust the dissolve oxygen within a week if they are not over populated. I have an aerator but i barely use it 3. If your broodstock are ok you dont need medication at the early stage 4. They just have to be strong enough to withstand the pressure before you siphon them 5. Covering them is to make their environ darker which will trigger their activity, tarpoulin is nt bad and you have to open at night This is what i practise in my farm so any addition or subtraction is allowed Finally whats your water ph 1 Like |

[b]Nigerian Catfish Farmers Can Save The Nigerian Economy, But Does Our Govt Care? Bamidele Onibalusi Editor’s note: Will President Muhammadu Buhari and his government make use of the suggestions made by bright and young Nigerians with the enthusiasm and potential to push the Nigerian economy forward? Naij.com contributor, a promising Nigerian entrepreneur, author and businessman, Bamidele Onibalusi focuses on the Nigerian catfish farmers who, with the help of the government, could stimulate the growth and development of the agricultural sector of our economy. Developing nations of the world depend mainly on the primary sectors of the economy which basically are mining and agriculture. The situation in Nigeria is not different, only that the majority of Nigeria’s working population depends on agriculture more than mining. Agriculture is the most important sector of Nigeria’s economy, and research shows that about 70% of Nigeria’s labour force is engaged in agriculture. The agricultural sector in Nigeria is mainly dominated by the aged (50+ and retirees), but a sector that is appealing to Nigerian youths is the catfish farming sector. The reasons for this are not far-fetched: It is easy to set up a catfish farm compared to other sectors of agriculture It is less strenuous than other types of agriculture It can be done on part-time basis with returns guaranteed; it isn’t unusual to find people involved with catfish farming in addition to full time jobs You can recoup your capital and interest within a short time-frame; typically between 3 – 6 months There’s readily available market for catfish produce The sector offering opportunities Since the early nineties, people have been going into catfish farming increasing awareness about catfish, and many Nigerians now see it as a substitute to imported fish. The self-employment that has been the outcry of the Nigerian government can never be actualized in other sectors of the economy except the agricultural sector, catfish farming in particular. Hence, many unemployed youths have embraced this opportunity to be self-employed in this sector. Part two loading[/b] |
