Oga we re not talking about basics here this people cut corners and make more profit than you and I

Your are correct in your view about more profit. I don't have to cut corners to make more profit. The concern should be ,the implications of the fish products on the health of consumers. I usually send processed dried fish abroad (apart from those consumed locally), and my watch word has been quality, from the seed(fingerlings), through the entire production systems, to various catfish and related products, hence my customers come back asking for more.

My view is, concentrate on your products, giving value for money. If your production techniques are right, you will make profit.

If you are interested, we can rob minds together to proffer solutions.

When I was in Port Harcourt, we usually had influx of live catfish from the West - Ibadan. The people were selling at ridiculous prices, but some of us producing quality fishes had the last laugh. It has always been like that.

The pond would be 1m in depth.

Assuming 0.8m of the depth is fully utilized, stocking capacity can vary from 3,500 - 4000. However if Melange is raised in the same facility, quantity of fishes to be stocked will definitely increase.

Thank you for the information! Do you know if the same stocking density is good for tilapia on a 10m x 10m x 1m pond? We are thinking of doing both.

Many people venturing into Catfish farming for the first time don't have the required skills and knowledge, most especially, regarding the seed - Fingerlings, Post-fingerlings, Juveniles handling operations.
Apart from the seed handling, the issue of adequate provision of quality feed is at times neglected to the detriment of the success of the venture.
Also, knowledge of farm management techniques is of great importance for a successful catfish farming

I have decided to encourage, and guide / mentor 5 beginners from this forum - Nairaland, with FREE 50 Post-fingerlings / Juveniles of high quality for their learning process in the last quarter of 2018, through quality seed recognition and handling, feeds (feeding) and farm management techniques.

However, in view of logistics, this learning mobilization / offer shall be restricted to those in Ogba (Ifako, Ijaiye LGA, Lagos State) ; 'Lambe ('Lambe is between Akute and Agbado in Lagos/Ogun state) areas and environs.

If interested, please contact : -
0802-334-0270 WhatsApp/ call for details.

I always advice that potential farmers learn the rearing / culturing of Catfish, before venturing into other aspects like hatching.

Download this useful manual for catfish farming.
