What is the recommended maximum stock for the following size earthen pond, we get natural water from the ground and we also have a borehole to change water every 2 weeks. The pond also have outlet and inlet pipes to maintain constant flow through of water all the time.

I am looking to stock 6,000 per cycle starting with 3,000 each in pond 1 and 2 and then finishing them in Pond 3 and 4. Will these pond be big enough?

Used to raise from fingerling to 2 months the we transfer to pond 1 and 2...

Pond 1 35 feet by 25 feet depth 5 feet - Currently 3,000

Pond 2 13 feet by 27 feet depth 7 feet - Currently 3,000

Used to raise from 2 months to 4.5 months

Pond 3 40 feet by 36 feet depth 7 feet - Currently 3,000

Pond 4 45 feet by 35 feet depth 5 feet - Currently 3,000

Good morning gentlemen I recently went into catfish farming, and I have been following your write-ups having read from page 1 till219, I must say this blog has been highly educational. I have 1 tarpaulin ponds 15x15 and 4 12x12 ponds which I have just stocked 4000 post fingerlings into. I am currently constructing a mini hatchery based on designs from Robonskis' and fleur and noorjen design. I am hoping to get all the support from fellow farmers in the house. A special thanks to Robonski, Abx1, soft777, Aquatic 1 and a host of guys on this forum...you guys rock. God bless you all PLENTY, PLENTY.

hello guys,

I wish to express my delight and thanks to you all for your support. I came here some few weeks back and complained about my fries dying after day 6, and I embraced the advice gotten on this thread. It will delight you all to know that I hatched again and my fries are approaching the third week!! They are very active, strong and above all I can say my result is 90% successful. (from hatching to wek 3). I estimate they are well over 10,000! (Will upload pix later).

However, I need more clarifications on my hatchery design. I intend to make more hatching vats, and will like inputs from experts on this matter. I currently have 3 wooden vats of 6ft by 3ft. but I’m considering using plastic tanks i.e (white tank or black GP square tank). Please guys which will you advice? And please give reasons. I have seen a couple of guys on this forum using the white tank and I wonder if it won’t be difficult siphoning due to its depth. I await suggestions.

My regards to the bosses and members. Pls, what can be done if broodstocks suddenly stop feeding?

puffynana:

Yes sir
There is land already. With a stream running behind it.
Plan to use a concrete pond so that I can drain and see my fishes well being regularly as the earthen pond are mostly not transparent
Infact every thing is ready except capital for construction of pond and feeding.

robonski15:
Welcome to the fold sir.. Have you got he plan?

robonski15:


Is their water clean enough to encourage feeding, cos some peeps leave the brood water for months and has an adverse effect on the long run..

To know the estimated stocking density of an earthen pond we multiply the feet and dept divided by 3 multiply by two (for earthen ponds)

lets use POND 1 as an example 35 feet by 25 feet depth 5 feet.

35x25x5=4375

4375/3=1458

1458 x 2= 2916

on pond 1 you can stock 2916 fishes to maturity..

Use this formular to calculate the rest ponds... Thanks

Oga Robonski, I called ur manager yesterday to place order of 1500 from Ilorin, he said d quantity is small and can not be supplied even though am ready to share the transport fair as indicated on of ur post. I want if it's d instruction you gave him cos if it is, it's not fair to upcoming farmers who can't afford large quantity, please try correct dt please.
