Is this business still profitable. Cos I tried with a thousand fish and still got loss of 1k with wasted time and energy for 5 months. Please prove me wrong with the followings.. Got seeds from a fish farm I visited myself to see how they grow and affirm it genuineness.. 40 naira per fingerlings weight average weight of 10g each.. 3 bags of 2mm coppens feeds for 17k each 60 bags of 3mm and 4mm vital feeds for 7500 each For 5 months water changing .. 50k Drugs.. 10k Labour of boy for 5 months at 8k every month.. From the above 40 x 1000 pieces that is 40k 3 x 17000 that is 51k 60 x 7500 that is 450k 50k water 10k drugs 40k labour All together 641k expenses.. Average kg after harvest is 800kg multiplied by 800 rate 640k Diffrence is 1k loss All I gained is experience... And willing to learn more.. Please House. Educate us more we the newbees on this trend base on Mr above experience how to make gain and experciate better how I could have reduce cost.. |

Ttalk:pls I bought 1mm skreeting feed for my fingerlings yesterday but when I gave them the feed I noticed that it wasn't floating is it normal or is the feed bad? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by stan4b(m): 9:29am On Apr 23, 2017 |
micgray100:Oga, first of all, fingerlings is usually 10 or 15 naira, it is juvenile dat can b around 30 to 40 naira. D water issue, why couldn't u just get a borehole, or create a well dat can give u constant water. Den, why couldn't u maintain ur farm urself, instead of paying 10k monthly. Well, all in all, I tink u r d cause of ur loss. Were some of ur fish hitting 1kg? 1 Like |

fishfarming is still profitable, if the foundation & delegation of funds is faulty, it will show at the end. |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by bilag17(m): 5:41am On Apr 24, 2017 |
micgray100:Congratulations. 1k loss is negligible, when compared with the knowledge gained through the experience. Five months is a very strategic time frame for outstanding harvest, if all necessary rearing resources are utilized. What was the actual quantity stocked-1000, 1100? Definitely the fishes were not fingerlings because you started feeding with 2mm. 1. How many pieces of fish made the harvested 800kg? 2. How many ponds did you use, the sizes, and quantity in each. 4. For a period of 5 months, you are expected to have utilized minimum of 80 bags of 15kg feed instead of the 63 bags used. If all I've stated here are rightfully considered, in mine own view, your harvested weight should not be less than 1000kg. Respond, and we shall be able to identify the learning point. 1 Like |

micgray100:Your feed input is 78%, hence the result. However, I've seen a fish farmer, whose input was 60%, and he still made profit. Do you keep farm records? |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Ttalk: 10:23am On Apr 24, 2017 |
lilly400: Yes, it is a slow sinking feed. There's nothing wrong with it |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Adeymorla(m): 9:53am On Apr 25, 2017 |
micgray100: To make better profits, its really not about the type of feed used, its more about its conversion to flesh when the fish consume it. We call it the feed conversion rate. Some expensive foreign feeds/ naija local floating we buy have low FCR so buying them is just like money down the drain. The fish will eat it but they will not grow fast. To reduce cost u have to increase FCR. Thats the only way |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by micgray100(m): 10:03am On Apr 25, 2017 |
Adeymorla: thanks so much for your contribution... you have given a point on FCR.. what is the way forward... house please let us look at this profit tin critically cos i see no point running a business that leads to loss after 6 months... i am already contemplating selling off my plastic Tanks and demolishing the concrete pond.... O ga Robonski .. do Justice to this... even people i introduce to this business are leaving already.. |
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by Ttalk: 10:07am On Apr 25, 2017 |
Adeymorla: Can we tie down FCR performance only to feed quality? Please explain in detail to the house your opinion about increasing FCR I agree that some expensive foreign feeds/Nigeria Local floating are out there claiming what they are not, but is there fish no farmers association in Nigeria? What about Standard Organisation of Nigeria? What about numerous Research Institutes in Fisheries and Aquaculture in Nigeria? Where do we see their result of research on different fish feed? Unless there is a movement among different fish association to carry-out test on all popular feeds in Nigeria and publish the result for fish farmers to consider before making his decision and see that SON take appropriate action against Feed companies that has been deceiving young entrants, the loss will continue. |
