Sorry for your loss, bt robonski said fish farming is a game wc means there is so many uncertainty wt many permutatns. Even if u form a union d middle men will always get frm new bies springing up everyday. You need to learn d game fast because money is involved. Get d hidden truth ASAP!

@ayoplenty, thank God you outsmart them. You will see other buyers who will take your price.

Currently, I have 6 ponds. Only 4 are operational... put in a shy above 10k juveniles in each...

@hisableplc...Yea... 35,000kg (its an approximate number) actually commenced with 42,000 juveniles... trying to be conservative about the outcome and accommodate variation in fish sizes.

End of day 2... sold 645kg...

On average seeing 0.8kg - 1.2kg... though the harvest is still ongoing... Sorting was a bit of a challenge cos of the 2 faulty ponds i have. In addition, i had some hitches during the culture period... feed availability and water quality management issues that i am to address in the next run.
