chilanfarms:You are very correct @Chilanfarms. This is so coz fish in earthen pond are expose to the following: 1) Semi natrural habitat: This is coz earthen pond seems to be a natural habitat for them as if they are in the wild. The only difference is that they arte in a confined enironment. 2) Access to live feeds: They prey on aquatic animals like daphnia, red worm, earth worm, insects, water fleas, zooplankton, phytoplankton and e.t.c. which aid their fast growth because it doesn't culminate into overfeeding. 3) Access to aquatic plant to feed on: These plants are also called hydrophytes or macrophytes. Fish in earthen ponds feeds on aquatic plants like algae, water hyacinth, e.t.c. 4) Access to more space: The stocking density in earthen pond is mostly very good.

Ttalk:It can be done anywhere sir. The three factors to be considered are: (1) If the land area is a water logged area eVen though it can be done on some dry land too. (2) If the land area is not rocky. (3) If the underneath water pressure is high enough to spring up. Wishing you all the very best!!! |

peperempe22:That was a sad one there my brother. But as sad as it might look like, there are lessons for your unce to learn which will help him in the future. My brother, fish farming is like every other business where lies PROFIT if and when well handled or DEBT, if and when handled with no knowledge of the business. I laugh whenever I read those articles/write up that tells people to invest 100k into fish farming to reap 500k. It's all LIE & DECEIT. Fish farming business is like a COMPUTER DEVICE (garbage-in, garbage-out). You'll only get what you give. I want to assume that the very production you were refereing to might e his first ever cycle. But permit me to tell you that there are lots of fish farmers that still incur loses even after their 1st, 2nd or 3rd cycle of production simply because they are leaving some stones unturned. Can your uncle holistically in all fairness scrutinise and take stock of his management routine. Are you sure that he really fed those fish well at when due? Did he supervise his workers when feeding them (if he has any) to be sure that they aren't selling his feed or using it on their own personal farm? (I've seen such before). Did he feed them with good feed? Is the feed ok? Aren't they deprived of the essential nutrients that they need in their feed? Was his water mgt ok? If your answer to these questions is YES, then pls, I'll advice you to be mindful of folloing... FACTORS TO CONSIDERED TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN FISH FARMING BIZ: (1) GOOD SEEDLINGS: Ensure that you get your stocks from a trusted source. (2) GOOD WATER MGT REGIME: Change water at when due (3) REGULAR SORTING: Sort your fish per size to different ponds (4) FEEDING REGIME: Feed them with quality feed regularly (5) BUILD THEIR IMMUNE SYSTEM: Don't wait till your fish come down with infection. Apply antibiotic to their feed once or twice a week and multivitamin,once a week so that they don't easily come down with infection (6) ELIMINATE STRES: Don't stress your fish in case of sorting or otherwise. Apply anti-stress after each sorting exercise (7) AVOID TOO MUCH ADVICE FROM DIFFERENT QUARTERS: There exists lots of computer farmers out there that have never touch a fish before yet, they'll tell you everythg about fish farming. They are QUACKS!!! Bad consultants... (8 ) BOOK KEEPING: Keep daily record of your farm activity. Keep record of your expenditure. Endeavour to weight your fish every 2wks to ascertain their growth. WIshing you all the very best!!! 3 Likes |

I just asked a friend the price of imported fish meal 72% protein and he said 50kg goes for 41,000 meaning 820naira per kg. What is your take in the use of foreign fishmeal in feed composition. Ab1x, excellesoir, Soft777, Nuvembarz, Robonski, Ayosat and my respected gurus please come and do justice to this pressing question |

@ Robonski15: I have been trying to get your Gelatin feed, but all the distributors within my location (Abraka, Delta State) do not have the pelleted one. How can I order directly? Secondly, please change to contact on the Gelatin Ad to the one you guys pick. I have called the line, 09054672750 more than twenty times without any one answering or returning my calls. Robonski15 |

Ttalk: The current price is 850 naira per KG in my area. Even at that, I still use the fish meal to make my feed, the only thing is that I reduced the %. There is no way you will want result without using the imported fish meal. |
