WHY MANY PEOPLE GET RETIRED EARLY AS FISH BREEDERS?

Fish farming is a lucrative business, don't mind the naysayers, however if not done well, you will fail. I know you have faith, I am a man of faith by His Grace, but I will do my part (only God is perfect) and base the rest on faith.

In business, you need to be physical (work) and spiritual (pray), though it is an open fact to the dimension of some people's spirituality. However, I am not making any sermon here, but talking fish farming.

Hence, for fish farming, if you don't have a plan, you have no defined direction. if you have no water, enough water, not wise to start, except you intend to do Recirculating system (not system) and this is not cheap.

Now to the main course, fish breeders, it is no news that many are quitting, however many too are inspired to come in because they hear you can make millions in fish hatchery business in few months.

The fact remains that fish hatchery is the area where expertise is most needed. Aside skills, everything should be in place and those employing breeders should enumerated well. Any breeder that is paid less than N200,000 monthly as salary is been cheated, irrespective of qualification (Though, this is Nigeria, people get paid anything).
Such breeder should be ready to produce at least 300,000 fingerlings plus yearly (this could also be accomplished in 2 months provided the broodstocks are good, sufficient water, enough facilities, money to mention a few.

The reason why many retire early is MONEY AND MONEY. When they fail, no money to get back on and worst is the situation where those that lack agricultural knowledge or business evaluate agricultural business for access to funding.

When money is not enough or sufficient, there is bound to be many mistakes. And when the mistakes begin to happen, everyone becomes suspect. And because not all have the financial muscle to hold on, they get retired early.

there is a PDF from coppens online that shows from day one hatchlings to week 8, the daily feed, possible weight etc and it further shows from 10g fish to grow out and it states that at 2 month the fish should be 300 gram, 3 month should be 600 gram, 4 months 1kg, 5 month fish should be 1.5kg and a six month African catfish fed with coppens should be 2kg.

Think of weight and leave length

It's good to note that the stated weight gain, can only be achieved, if the recommended daily feed/fed quantity in the pdf chart is strictly observed, while the quality of the fish seed is also of great importance. In aquaculture, it's usually, No Feed, No Gain.

SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE ASKING IF THEIR FISHES ARE DOING WELL:-

You don't need to ask provided you are doing the important things like good water management, feeding right to mention few.
However, to mend the heart of those that have been discouraged by naysayers, some of the comments are from people that have not even tried anything. If you say this is the size of your fishes, they will complain that it is too big or too small etc.

The fact remains that parameters differ; feed types, water management, parent stock, pond type and so on.
Do not forget that earthen ponds that is profess as the best also differ. A gushing earthen pond is far better than a stagnant or slow refilling earthen pond.

The one with a gushing earthen pond will do better anytime under the same situation, except technology is use in another pond type.

To let those that are always willing to comment without in depth analysis to think better, there are people achieving 1kg in less than 5 months. It reminds me of gushing earthen ponds in Ogun state shown by AB1X many years ago on nairaland, whether the owner is experience or not he or she will still outshine most farmers.

Why? Simple, the fishes can hardly be sick, there is lot of oxidation to promote growth, the fishes will do great to delimit to the mentioned.

Now in case you don't know and also to do some reorientation, let me write what coppens published on their feed years back.

PDF from coppens online shows from day one hatchlings to week 8, the daily feed, possible weight etc and it further shows from 10g fish to grow out and it states that at 2 month the fish should be 300 gram, 3 month should be 600 gram, 4 months 1kg, 5 month fish should be 1.5kg and a six month African catfish fed with coppens should be 2kg.

You might not attain this with your feed, but you do something close, though depending on your feed formulation conversion ratio.

So instead of coming to ask for opinions, you could measure your work with a standard assessment.

In case you want to see the PDF, do yourself a favor to Google it. From the analysis you can assess your work yourself better.

Good afternoon,pls my juvenile are not responding to feed only few come to feeding spot, some were lying flat on the surface of water and slow in movements and some have 1 or 2 whitish mouth fins. I av wash the pond with salt and give them 1 hour salt bath in the pond. Pls help a farmer friend in need,what can I do?

You've said it well but then again alot of things have change in fish farming. The quality of feeds available cannot be compare to what we use then for example 72% fish meal is not what it is now. Alot of fake products are now in the market and even some materials used by local feed millers which has a direct impact on the growth of catfish.

Nigerian's problem. Reason I mentioned that it could be close based on people's formulation, if the coppens result is farfetched. For the fake products, there will still be reputable feed materials sources

Of course there are but then experience has to come into play. For example; maize, we all know that yellow maize is richer than the white maize. Some feedmillers may collect the money for yellow maize and use white maize for you. Also, GNC is source from different northern states but the very best comes from Chad. They may collect money for Chad GNC and use that of Kano since they know you are not going to be on ground to monitor them. It is also easy to cheat one if they know you are a novice.

bro, you are experience now and I believe we need to continue to enlighten people and if possible, people should produce their feeds themselves.

Can you do a favor if you are still close to those gushing earthen ponds for a picture or short 20-30 seconds video. Based on my previous post I am letting people know that earthen ponds are not equal in terms of productivity.

Appreciated

Hello my professional colleague.... I just went through this post.... I think you need to modify it. 300,000 fingerlings is way too low annually against #200k salary. This in assumptive figure
gives #2.4M @#8/fingerlings same as the annual salary. As you have rightly stated...fries production is the most technical aspect but money spinning in catfish farming, hence, its unpredictable.

Do not forget the feeding of the 300k, water and other operational expenses.

Thanks for your activeness here.
One love.
