DBounty: Operational system as in? Pls how do u mean?
we v 3 kinds of operational systems; stagnant , flow-through n re-circulatary. These systems r also applicable 2 grow-out n they v ther verious stocking density,advantages n disadvantages. This is why most fish farmers fail, we need an indept knowlege in all operations in fish farming.stagnant system is dat method by which we change ur pond water wen we notice dat its bad(2 or 3 days interval) as d case may b,flow-through is d method by which we make pond(vat) water to go out through d outlet n d same quantity of water come in through d inlet 4 @ list 2hrs twice daily while re-circulatary is d method wher water goes 2 d pond or vat 4fm d overhead tanks n 4rm d vat or pond 2 various compactments wher d water is treated n send back 2 d overhead tanks wher it goes back to d pond contenously(24hrs) without d fishes noticing it. So which of dem do u v in place?

@lanrelan,they are not feeding well. How do u determine they have had enough?let's assume u feed them well,you might have over stocked your pond which creates room for each fish struggling for space.

Pls, we need to get this right. Practically, there are no two farms that are the same!. The more you visit other farms the wealthier your experience.
Your farm setting has a lot to do in hatchery mechanism.
I can vividly tell you here that as regards hatching no amount of talk here can satisfied ur need. Invite an experience person for your first and second hatching and you are good to carry on from there.

Meanwhile, i have over 20,000 fingerlings read for sales.

Hatching is a practical thing, No amount of my write ups will do justice.. Like what lexy91 rightly said, I will also advice you employ someone to spawn for u, or you learn it from a hatchery..
