@ OP,
Fish Farming is lucrative, I can authoritatively tell you that and that is from experience. My advice is that you seek knowledge before going into it and most importantly, you must have PASSION for the business. Be aware that EVERY BUSINESS has got it's own downsides, so when you go into it and you see some setback, you will no be discouraged. I will summarize some key points for you, catfish farming's success depends largely on 4 cardinal parameters listed below,

1. The quality of the fish (Genetics)
2. The quality of the feeds
3. The quality of the water system
4. The structure of the pond system (space/depth)

FYI, if you start with Juveniles (I advise you do this), don't consider fingerlings or post-fingerlings. A juvenile will attain a 1kg (table size) weight in 4 months. The difference in the price of a juvenile and others is significant enough when compared to the cost you incur in rearing them for up to 6 month to attain market size.

Your major cost will be the cost of feeds. The best method is to start your fishes with foreign feeds for the first month of 6 weeks, after this, place your stock on local feeds. The formula and specification is not a difficult thing, that can always be provided if you want. I will not advice you start producing your feeds cos of the cost of setting up a fish feed mill (mini), when you scale up, producing your feed will make a whole lot of sense.

I can go on and on. If truly you have done a soul searching and decided this is what you want to do, I can always provide all the information you need and also expose you to practical experience if you so desire. We can both sit down and work out a detail feasibility/profitability projection based on the resource you have.

Regards,

How much is the van only?

The aquaculture industry in Nigeria has grown tremendously in past years with a reported production of farmed catfish of 143,207 MT. and some 20% growth per year.
This development has led to the emergence of a value chain of many stakeholders and players. An estimate of about 5,000 or more fish farmers, some 15 large fish hatcheries and more than 100 small to medium hatcheries as well as four quality fish feeds of local manufacture, some 12 imported quality fish feeds and an undocumented large number of small, artisanal fish feed producers. Equipment suppliers and consulting service providers have grown with fairly wide coverage in the different regions of the country, although most suppliers are focused in the SW, where the aquaculture industry began.

The 1ST Rule (Golden Rule) of Fish Farming, infact any busines is - Passion.

Before you commence on this wonderful business, you need to ask yourself, 'Do I have passion for this business?' - Answering this question honestly will shape and guide the decisions you are about to make.

I have noticed with dismay how NL users try to take advantage of people's request for information to sell them information that should ordinarily be free and available. This site ought to be a repositorty of information and not otherwise.

Over the coming days, I will attempt to share my experiences on catfish farming with any interested forum user (Feasibilty study, setting up, sourcing good stock, water management, feed management, personnel management, marketing etc). Any other experienced and magnanimous user is welcome to share; all we need do is assist ourselves. Information is very key in everything. The success of any persons directly means the success of us as a people/society/nation.

Watch out!

@ efe 22,

Could you please try tell me the average weight of the fishes. From that we can decipher whether to change the feeding formula or proffer other workable means.

@ efe 22,

The problem can be one of the following,

1. The fingerlings you were given were runts, so no matter the amount of feeds, they ,ay never attain good size. But this reason may not be valid since you and your friend got them from same source

2. The size of the feeds you started them with i.e. for fingerlings it is ideal to start them with 0.5mm - 0.8mm and progress gradually to bigger sizes as they groow. now the problem is, if you were feeding them with 1mm when they are suppose to be fed with 0.5mm, they will not eat it and most of the feeds will eventually sink. Leading to inadequate nourishment to the fishes; this leads to underweight fishes

Let me know, how many grammes do the fishes weigh now and how long exactly have you been feeding them

Regards,

@ efe 22,

What kind of feeds did you fed them with? The quality of feed and the composition at different stages of development matters. From your naration about others that were bought from same place and same time, it's obvious that they were not placed on a very good feeding programme.

Hello House,

Hello people,

Please i need advice on how to treat a newly cemented concrete pond before stocking with fish. Some people say I should use maure while some says I should you palm oil. I know, not treating the pond after cementing will cause massive death of the fish due to pollution of the water by cement chemicals.

Please, good people, advise.

Thanks
