The depth of your pond is shallow and requires beams on the blinding for reinforcement before your block work. If not, ready to battle with crackings. Nice one sha. 1 Like |

Thanks be to God, I have gotten a broodstock that I will use to hatch my fish. Those waiting to eat fish, don't worry, u will surely eat my fish either directly or indirectly, or by invitation. Hope those who will be invited will turn up? I wish to have you. Let's eat, drink and drink. Nigeria, we are one. Add me on whatsapp, 07067960823. |

Re: Fish Pond Construction (concrete Pond) by emekaxy: 10:55pm On Aug 07, 2015 |
Calyb: Now you finally agree with Apitch, im not into fishery but u wud have paused and make more findings when Apitch raised a point of order, rather u ruled him out of order just as Senator Saraki constantly rule Senator Marafa out of other. Now another twist of 1kg and 2kg is coming up. My own point is since u have all this space in the site u wud have increased it once and for all instead of saying u are a fishery graduate and all that bla bla bla..... My dear theory and practical experience are two difference things. All the same wish you well, I like your confidence and entrepreneurial skills 9 Likes 1 Share |

You know you can go for less expensive versions and sill hit your target faster. Concrete ponds are very expensive and takes longer time to recoupe investment cost. |

@Calyb.. Nice work you doing here.. But if you really want to improve, you need to change your attitude.. Experience they say is the best teacher, and a lot of people on this forum have a lot of it.. Just my humble opinion.. 7 Likes |

Well done and I see you are really motivated to see this work out. I like this kind of energy especially from educated folks. it shows agriculture will come up and thrive very well in this country. Having said that, let us talk straight and frankly here as this is business and I believe you put up this thread to seek clarification and recommendation(s) where necessary. I am a practising fish farmer with over 5 years experience, I have trained and consulted for people and I believe I am in a good position to make the following recommendation: 1) Your pond size can't take 1000pcs of fishes to 4 months. From your replies, you only focus on water management. Water is not the only factor considered when stocing cat fish. You consider spacing, growth rate, atmospheric air exchange and fish type. Do you know a typical fish pond is a habitat and food chain exist? If your fishes are not well spaced, they will compete for everything available inside that pond for survival including oxygen. They will fight often as their territory clashes and this will lead to mortality. Catfishes are voracious eaters and they tend to attack one another to exhibit dominance. When they are jammed together, disease spread is quick and your fishes will suffer from weakness and inability to feed properly. We all know where this will lead to. If you wish I can continue with the comprehensive literature on why adequate spacing is required for catfish. I haven't talk about fish type and feeding habit. there are different spacing requirement for hetero species as well. Let me know if more literature is required and I will humbly say more 2) With this kind of pond you have, your fishes CAN NOT attain 1KG in 4 months. You can only achieve that with shooters and you can only get 1000 shooters from fries stock of 50,000 and breeders know the stress and financial implication of raising 50,000 fries. This is a practically proven fact. What you will probably stock if you a good fish farmer is mixture of shooters, runners and crawlers. Feed them with even 80 percent protein from fingerlings to adult, you can not attain 1kg in 4months with a concrete pond. And we all know the implication of a high protein fed meal for an encamped fish. So I don't know the kind of literature you must have read, i am sorry to burst the bubble. Please accept this practical fact to avoid losses or heartbreak at the end of 4 months. I will stop here for now as these are my observations on the thread so far. I will add more as you progress. I am a staunch advocate of earthen pond as fishes feel more at home compared to concrete or taupalin ponds. Not everywhere is suitable to raise catfish just like not every land is suitable for cassava or soyabean or rice cultivation. Farmers move to areas where these crops can be planted and grow them. Why can't fish farmers also search out lands suitable for raising catfish? We must change our mindset that since catfishes have strong adaptation capabilities they can be raised anywhere. In all I wish you well and happy fishing 22 Likes 1 Share |
