how do catfish farmers deal with lack of good drainage channel in a particular farm area? i have heard of digging a kind of well and using it as a drainage pit. how effective is this considering the volume of water required in catfish farming?

You have to consider the type of area the farm is located.. Is it a swampy area? If it is,then digging a well will not be a good idea because of the water level,u must find another means of disposal.. But if its not a swampy area then digging a well will be suitable..

This is one major problem in fish farming.. One have to put into consideration the outflow of the water before anytin else..

shanda: @robonski

thanks

For a 10 by 10 standard concrete pond:
168 blocks 150 = #25,200
Sand: half trip 1/2 tipper=#8000
Gravel: 7 wheel barrows = #20,000
Cement: 8 bags of cement = #16,000
Workmanship: 1 bricklayer and helper for three days: = #20,000
.........
#89,200

But if you are buliding more than one pond the prize will definately reduce by 15%.. And pices of raw material differ from state to state.. Thanks

It depends on your feeding pattern and the type of feed you give to them..You will need #30-#40 to produce 1 melange and #120-#150 to produce 1 table size..

CATFISH SMOKING

When catfish is smoked, it is preserved and doesn't get spoilt easily, and it combines three effect I.e

1. The smoke that is produced from the wood that is being burnt contains a large number of compound, and some of them kill bacteria e.g, phenols..

2. Drying: the fire which produces the smoke also generate heat and this inturn will dry the fish..

3. Cooking: when catfish are smoked at a high temperature the flesh will be cooked and it will destroy the enzyme and kill the bacteria..

FLOW CHART

1.MATURE CATFISH

2.STUNNING (using salt)

3.DEGUTTING

4.CLEANING (removal of slime)

5.FOLDING INTO O-SHAPE

6.PUT FOLDED FISH INTO OVEN(smoke for six hours)

7.REMOVE FISH FROM OVEN AND ALLOW TO COOL.

8.STORE IN AIR-TIGHT PACKAGE

To be continued

You hot smoke the fish.. When the fish is smoked until dried, the shelf life is generally longer.
