robonski15:

it depends on the system used in raising them... If u use a flow through system it is 100 to 150 fishes per square metre. Recirculatory is 300 per square metre, earthen pond is 50 per square metre..
@ robonski, excelsior & ab1x. You guys are God sent. May the Lord reward u abundantly. Concerning above, what should be the stocking rate per square meter in a concrete pond where water is to be exchanged twice weekly. Thanks

Hello house, something just came to my mind which I think I must share since one of us said he made losses. I'll employ everyone of us to try and get scale even if it is 50KG, it does not cost more than N5500.00.


If you are a fish farmer and u don't have a scale then you have not started yet because you are just working for the fish buyer. I tell you 99.5% of fish buyer uses fake scale. They are so cunny and there is no way u will know that their scale is not correct unless you use your scale.


Just my two cents.

It depends on your negotiation power.. But I guess the pepper soup joint buy it much better than the market women..

The kind of pond u use will determine the cause of the disease. You need to drain the water in your pond. Try and mix salt with ashes(eru) and NCO. Sprinkle it on their body and all over the pond. Leave them for at least 3 hours before releasing water on them. Also, leave them for atleast 48 hours before you feed them and when u want to feed them at first, feed them little by little. Cheers mate.


The above method is how to treat fish in earthen pond.


However, in concrete or any other pond, u only need to replace ashes with Potassium parmaganate(PG), all other things remain the same ie Salt and NCO.


The above methods can treat any kind of disease involving catfish.



Thanks,
