aerator is not the solution.... pls wenever ur fries are @ 2 going to 3weeks be very vigilant, this is a common phenomenon and it's cos @ this period along of their organs are coming up n this use up a lot of oxygen in that water body. Apply chicken oil or palm oil on the water and ensure they r less crowded.

Hello guys, CAFAN in Akwa Ibom just introduced an Anchor growers scheme in the state for 1000 farmers.
It is a CBN loan that will involve a company giving farm inputs to farmers and buying all the fish during harvest
The summary of it all is this:
1. You will be given at least 5000 juveniles @ N40 per one = N200,000
2. You will be given 150 bags of a Nigerian feed at N6000 per bag =N900,000
3. cash for the farm management n salaries
Everything will sum up to about 1.3m
Note: you will not be given physical money but the inputs will be supplied to you.
At the end of 3 months, the uptaker will come and harvest your fish and pay N500 per kilo
You are meant to have atleast 3250kg of fish at harvest to qualify for another loan.

Please kindly assist to analysis
Is the pricing ok for the fingerlings and feed?
The price per kilo is it okay too since they r buying all at once.
then, will d 150 bags of feed be enough to grow them to 650g in 3 months?
if 5000 juveniles eat 150bags u can't have 650g. 150bags= 2250kg of feed, divide it among 5000 juveniles of say 10g body weight. Wat u will have is. 450kg max. The price they r buying is low if u r gonna make any profit @ all. Then seed price is on the higher side too max juveniles should be #25. If u wana do melange (3months) target u need to stock higher... on 10000 juveniles book @ least 3.2toons of feed and u will have them weighing 300-350g per fish...

Ok sir. I will definetly let you know. I learnt gravid ones could be gotten in ibadan, but my worry is how to transport them here.
. Theirs a professional way of packaging female broodstock for a long journey that won't affect them. But I still advice my clients not to use them immediately, give the a week to acclimatize and also disinfect them. Yes we have gravid females in ibadan grin... and we do send to Abuja markudi.lafia n it's environs...

Can someone help me with an estimate of the quantity of feed to rear 20000 juvenile to maturity. Please it's very important!!
. Budget #350 per fish if u r targeting 1kg average... if u r targeting melange budget 1.8m to feed them and u will have 6.5tons of melange to sell @3 months... thus 6.5*550=? U can chat me on 07065874135 or call 0818669542 to further broaden ur biz plan.

Thank you sir for your response.I truly appreciate. I removed the net at 24hrs post spawning.There were a lot of larvae swimming actively at the bottom of the vat.I also started flow through with the turn down pipe properly set since last night. I hatched with two vats.This morning I started the aerator in one of the vat at medium speed in combination with the flow through.I want to see the effect of the aerator relative to the flow through alone. As at this evening most of the larvae are dead with only a few (~10%) still active in both vats.My water pH is 8.It was 4 initially but I added sodium bicarbonate in the overhead tank to achieve a pH of 8. Is this normal?
8 is high, u need btw 6.5-7|<7.5 work on ur water

Plz what could cause broken skull on catfish, my friend discovered around 10 cases this morning. Plz we need help
lack of VitC in their feed. Treat b4 it spread. If it's a foreign feed change immediately. Fortify their feed with VitC and calcium.

Dear all,

Please i intend to start my fish farming with an existing pond 9ftx9ftx8ft (initially constructed soakaway, but never been used),picture attached for your reference

1. What specie of fish do you recommend i start with and how many fish can i keep in the pond, i've ordered 600 fishes @ N21/fish from my adviser
2. I intend to use a surface pumping machine to drain out dirty water at intervals, how often do i need to do this? can this system work in your opinion
3. I intend to cover the soakaway with net to avoid birds pick up fish from the pond, hope this would not reduce circulation of air and result in loss of oxygen
4. I'm not always available at the house, i have a mutual agreement with someone to take care of the fish while i'm not around, what do you think
5. This is a pilot test to see the feasibility, what will you advice,
6. My budget for the pilot scheme is around N40,000 (fish N12,600, pond cover N15,000 and basic plumbing N11,600) excluding feeding, from all i've read feeding seems to average between N350-450/fish i.e N270k overall
7. What are the do's and don't peculiar to my situation

Kindly advice

Regards
your plan is Ohk. Netting won't deplet oxygen. U r on track just follow through with d advice u've got already.

Is it a new pond cos 52k for preparation of existing pond is outrageous . Next u boost d fish with good foreign feed then u switch to other good nd cheaper feeds The cost of juvenile (30naira is high) so u mean u transfer 700 juvenile with 2k shocked ( from where to where).


.
he/she said securing of pond and demudding 52k. Rentage of pond as be factor in.

itayo99:
SECURING OF POND AND PREPARATION WITH MISCELLANEOUS = 52, 000
AQUALIPS 2KG
2MM 2BAGS
3MM 3BAGS
4MM 5 BAGS FLOATING
4MM more than 6bags of sinking ( I can't remember again)
juvenile ( 30 naira per one = 21000 plus 2k transportation = 23000)
antibiotics. ?
cost of production 240k
Revenue generated 169k
This estimate is for 700 juveniles right? No 1 the cost of juvenile is high. To make good profit in catfish farming ensure u minimise use of imported feed.
