Use effects of soil pH on a crop that has economic value in your school area/ state. The arguement is that the crop is of economic importance to your region, and the farmers are trying for new ways to be more productive, so you want to see how soil ph affects the growth of the crop. You can already deduce your research questions from this. |

Burchester: You have to be trained at Police college Ikeja. You have to have Waec if you want a non commisioned officer rank. This is a 4 months training. First degree if you want to be a gazetted officer. This is a 6 months training. You'll get 2 regular police officers to sign for you. Lastly..MONEY Trust me however, the benefits far outrank the expenses. |

The reality of starting a fish farm in 2022, means that tarpaulin ponds are a necessity in every farm. They can be used to sort the fishes that you eventually want to put in your earthen ponds. 1 Like |

6. Fish Processing the superpower Please and please, don’t start your fish farms without plans to have a fish processing oven. You would thank me later. Even if you don’t get it in the beginning, just have the plans for it. You would ultimately get requests for smoked catfish. Also when selling fish, you would get premium prices for smoking the smaller sized fishes than dashing the fish buyer who complains that he won’t pay premium price for them because they are small in size. Also, if your fishes ever look like they want to falter and give you trouble, you can always smoke them and repurpose them. 7. Source of Juveniles or fingerlings This is a big issue that either makes or mars fish farms that are just starting. Some people unknowingly buy runts and keep feeding and feeding and the fish don’t grow. This is not always the case as there are other factors that make fish have stunted growth e.g overcrowding or poor feed. But buying runts as fingerlings is a real possibility for anyone starting a fish farm in 2022. The best way to avoid this is to buy fish only from a reputable fish hatcher. This article here would teach you how to identify and buy the best growing fishes from any batch of fish. 8. The Administration of Agriculture The truth friends is that there is a lot of politics going on in and around our environment that can either be a support or hindrance to starting our fish farm. Government Agencies, Grant and Loan applications and processes, digital empowerment can be an addition or a blessing to a farm. Even your staff on the farm can be a hindrance to your business. Me I even like to put accountability structures when doing business with family. I trust you as my brother o, but let’s just have proper record taking for accountability sake so that we can show our records to people that can give us loan or grant sef. You gerrit ? With this few points of mine, I hope I have been able to share my heart with you in starting a fish farm in 2022. Feel free to ask your questions, I would answer each one.

4. Innovation: What is your advantage? Please know that every farm is different, yet every farm is the same business. As you are coming into the fish industry, what is your comparative advantage? Is it that you are closer to your consumers so you can serve them better and fresher fish? Is it that you use Solar to power your pumping machines rather than fuel powered generator? Is it that you reduce labor cost by deploying Automatic Fish Feeder and thus your produce is cheaper? Are you thinking of Climate change and its challenges in you starting the fish farm in 2022? 5. The almighty Feed issue Fish feed should be about 70 percent expense on a well setup fish farm. If you setup your fish farm properly then you should have feed expense, water change, cost of fingerlings and juvenile and cost of labor (staff salaries) as your top most expense in your fish farm. Now I know that you have heard that you can make your own feed, its true. And I do make my own feed in some farms; however I don’t make my own feed in all of my farms. Some of the farms are not big enough to make that venture worth it. I personally advise that if you are not doing 10,000 fishes and above you shouldn’t bother with fish feed making machines. The money you would use to buy, install and run those machines is higher than what you think you would save from buying normal branded feed. There are good and economic fish feeds available right now. See this video where I talked about how to make a decision on which feed to use in starting yor fish farm in 2022, using either imported fish feeds like Skretting and Coppens or made in Nigeria feeds like Vital, Top, Bluecrown or Ecofloat feeds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIyazmxtx6M&t=54s

2. Secure your water As I said earlier, water is one of the 3 most important things in fish farming. It is called Aquaculture for a reason. Water cannot be rationed, it cannot be managed. You need a borehole or a running stream or a swamp to ensure you have running water year round. See this video where I discuss water shortage on one of my farms. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxraxr6u92Y Water should always be readily available. Discuss with your borehole guy, you need an industrial borehole, it must support a 2horse power pumping machine and at least a 2 inch pipe coming out from the borehole. I am serious ! its better we have one very good borehole than have 3 small insufficient boreholes. 3. Use production target to determine ponds type and size There are different fish pond types and they best suit different fish farming activities. There are tanks, earthen ponds, fiber glass setups, concrete ponds, mobile fish ponds and recirculatory systems. Fiber glass setups and recirculatory systesms are usually best for fish hatching and the creation of juveniles and fingerlings. Mobile ponds, Concrete ponds and Tanks are best for mélange and smoking sized fish. Earthen ponds are best for table size fishes and broodstock. When starting a fish farm in 2022, make sure you calculate your stocking density so you know the exact number of fishes to put in each pond. A 10*10*4ft mobile pond would take about 800 fishes, the smallest earthen pond you should do for growout fishes should be 50ft*30ft and depending on water availability that can take about 500 fishes.

Agriculture / Starting A Fish Farm In 2022; 7 Things You Must Know by nikaShow(m): 6:07pm On Dec 10, 2021 |
If you are starting a fish farming in 2022, things have changed. The world has changed. Agriculture has changed. The way we used to farm before has changed. Yet Fish farming remains a profitable and safe venture for new entrants into agriculture. Aquaculture is the growing of living organism inside water. This article focuses on fish farming with an emphasis on catfish farming. Lets dive in and disucss 7 questions you should answer before you start a fish farm in 2022. 1. The power of vision. The world is a global village now. You can decide to export your fish. The requirements of nafdac and son means that you should let the decision of your target market influence the setup of your farm. If you want to export your fishes you know that your ponds water source must be controlled. You cannot use runoff water for the farm. You would need a borehole that can be tested. If you are raising over 20,000 fishes, you know that you would need those clients who buy fishes in tonnes. They would always bring buses, so you need parking space close to the ponds. You would also prefer earthen ponds because you would be keeping the fishes for at least 7 months. But if you are doing about 10 thousand fishes, you can do mobile tarpaulin fish ponds. You can stagger your fishes because you would sell your fishes small small rather than the whole pond at once.</p> To know the number of fish you can raise. Use 700naira as a cost price to raise one fish to 1kg. </p> Oya calculate it, that means 1000 fishes is 700,000. Oya realistically, how many fishes can you raise to 1kg ? Please don’t start a farm and then stop short because of funds. It would make you under pressure and then sell at a loss price because you don’t have funds to continue to feed the fishes . Start small and let the farm grow.

There is actually the 'Spy' police force in Nigeria. It's shortened form for Supernumerary police officer. There are just 2 police training colleges that are empowered to train them. And 'we' only exist for private organisations or dignitaries protocol in Nigeria. Only those attached to dignitaries are licensed to carry fire arms. The rest of us only have police power within our jurisdiction which is the office that we work in. |

And yes, not everybody needs a mobile fish pond, based on your site location and characteristics, we can recommend a different approach to fish farming for you. Fish farming must be location sensitive to take advantage of opportunities or mitigate challenges in your environment.

Tarpaulin fish ponds are here to stay. More and more people embrace them. I would be constantly updating this thread with different designs and prices of the fish ponds. The standard sizes of mobile fish ponds available are: This is for the complete fish pond setup. Frames(the legs), Pond Liners (what you call tarpaulin) and the drainage(the part that takes water out of the ponds). The complete pond. 10*7*4- 500 fishes- 90k 10*10*4- 800 fishes- 140k 20*10*4-1200 fishes-200k Transport and Delivery is negotiated according to distance and depending on the number of ponds. This is delivered within 5-7 working days. Yes, we can use wood for the frames, however this is dependent on the type of farm it is and other qualities of the location. I always like to speak to a client and hear his thought on the site before I recommend the types of frames that would best suit his fish enterprise. The second package is just the Liner (what you call Tarpaulin. You would build the legs by yourself. We do this for our clients in far places. 10*7*4- 40k 10*10*4-55k 20*10*4-90k Delivery is between 3k-5k depending on the number of ponds and your location. This is delivered in 3-5 working days. We send it through public transport and you speak to the driver so you agree on the nearest garage for you to pick your fish pond from.
