Please house I need urgent advise. I stocked my pond with Juvenile two days ago. Yesterday i noticed that some of the fishes were just hanging with their head up, weak and do not eat when feed is thrown into the water. Please what do I do? NB. It's an earthen pond constructed in such a way that water from my pond flows into another person's pond while my pond is connected to a river water channel with an underground pipe. Please I need urgent advise as to what to do. |

your expected range should be 250g-500g in three month ranging from 61 to 90 days for melanga . 5000 juvenal fed 915Kg , a bag of feed is 15Kg . 915Kg/ 15Kg= 61 bag of feed at 2 month and few day your fish should up to 250g. 250g * 5000=125000g with 6% of body weight or biomass 6% * 125000g= 7500g convert g to kg 7500g =7.5Kg . this to say you to feed the fishes 7.5kg per day twices. putting some factor in consideration. 1 Like 1 Share |

Please avoid feeding your fishes with white bread aka (Agage bread) this is one common mistake small farmers these which leads to high mortality rate due to the presences of bromite which lead to infirmation of respiratory system. |

If it take a catfish ideaically from1Kg to 2.4kg from day 1 to 180days that is 6month .from day1-day30 which weight range should within100g-150g. you use 5% biomass as your feeding rate. Number of fish=1 1 * 100g * 5% = 5g 5g * 180 days= 900g ,it takes 900g to feed juvenile to 1kg. If a bag of feed is 15kg, convent kg to g 15Kg=15000g 15000g-900g=14100g =14.1kg lift on used If a beg of feed cost 6,500 Naria per 15kg 6500/15kg = 433 each 1 kg cost 433 Naira Convert kg to gram 1kg = 1000g Since 1000g-900g=100g cost of feed should be less than 433. 2 Likes 3 Shares |

TOTAL COST OF PRODUCTION A farmer bought 1000 seed of fingerling at rate of 17 Naria each. 1000 * 17 = 17,000Naira Total cost of feed was 283,000 at the end of 4month at hervest time. To determine the individual cost of catfish while other variable remain constant. 283,000 / 1,000 = 283 283 +17 = 300 Naira |

Congrat, test run your concrete pond by filling it water to the brim and leave for at least two days to observe if there is any leakage and yes you can wash manually to reduce the cement oozing odour. ADVICES Before introducing your fishes into the concrete pond you are to do the following. 1) Fill your concert pond with water and leave for 2 to 3 days before buying or introducing your fingering into the water . pros or reasons are following: Death rate observed as of changing of water or environment or tranfer are caused as of failure to observes this procedures . i) it breakdown the hardness of the water . ii) Introducing of oxygen though oxidation cause by respiration of little micro organism in the water such as mosquitos ,larvas etc. iii) The micro organism serves ready feed for fingerling on introduce into the water. iv) Don't feed them immediately , they might waste the feed due to strees, give enough time to adjust. v) Design daily feeding time table vi) Good water mangt |
