The level of success in our fish production activities
depend absolutely on adequate attention to details.
We need every detail available no matter how
macro those information are; every detail is so
important to success in breeding and management
of our fries. Most of the times we overlook some of
these details and it has cost us so much. It has
actually run most breeders or farmers alike out of
business forever. And yet, some are succeeding.
This is not because they are lucky, the difference
often time is in the quality of information they are
working with.
Like I said earlier, infections have caused a
significant economic loss to most farmers. The
reason been that over some period of
production,stocking, feeding rates and customers
demands etc. steadily increased and producers
adopted a multiple system of production in which
most of the time our hatching became a nursery for
fingerlings, post-fingerlings and even juveniles
without proper measures. These production
practices lead to the
emergence of infectious diseases as the primary
limiting factor in breeding, and disease outbreaks
are not uncommon even on well-run
facilities. This is why about 45percent inventory loss
in catfish production is attributed to infectious
disease. Haven’t you wonder why the harder you
tried the deeper one sink into losses.

It is important therefore for us to Rid our
hatcheries of any potential host to bacterial
infections. You might need to discongest your
hatchery room and facilities of any disease causing
organism. You might as well, in the absence of an
effective disinfectant allow your hatchery to take
some weeks to rest after washing. I equally
recommend sun-drying of vats and equipments
where applicable. By all means RID YOUR
HATCHERY OF PATHOGENS. Wish you the best.
