I have Juveniles for sale and I am in Lagos.

Farmers come all the way from the Northern part of the country to buy Juveniles in Lagos.
So you can come with a good transport to buy our Juveniles in Lagos.

Hello house, its been a while since my last inputs on the thread... Its due to preparations for my training, visited some fish farmers, and cooperative... I can see I have missed a lot.. Thanks to ab1x, mr excelsoir, lagbaja and others with their marvellouse response to issues..

I actually met with mr samshoz, we attended the cooperative together, he was an observer, I guess he learnt a lot that day.
I will want to call on farmers around lagos to come as an observer then u can register.. What you stand to achieve cannot be over emphasized..

Having read up to this page i can say that i have completed my Fishery 101 and thanks must be giving to the gurus in the house who make this discussion robust, educative and informative, thanks to Robonski 15, Exellecorfarm, Abx 1, Juve farm, Phemmy, Ayosat and other gurus in the house.

This has led me into going into next stage by seeking practical consultation within my area in Abuja to know the viability of the business, this led me to a consultant with a degree in Fishery who express his reservation on fish farming in this part of the country for following reasons:
According to him,

1. Fish business is more viable in the south compare to north
2. Earthen pond is better than concrete pond because of its ability to absorb wastes and less usage of water
3. The cost of foreign feeds has increased from N2500 to over N5000 in the last 10years without the correspondent increase in the cost of fish
4. The profit after the cost of feed does not measure with the input and labour
5. The same amount of input would generate more returns when ventured into poultry

Although most his concerned have been discussed in the post above, yet the different in location south/north could make a big different in success or failure of catfish business. While i believe there exist different means of maximising profit among fish farmers in the south by the usage of local and formulated feed to reduce the expenses and increase the profit because of the availability of the components in different parts of the south, the same cannot be said about fish farmers in Abuja who largely depend on foreign feeds from inception to maturity.

How can a farmer in Abuja make profit despite the huge cost of foreign feed and non availability of local component to formulate local feeds that are less expensive?

Please i need answered to the questions from the farmers in Abuja and environs and other gurus i.e. Robonski, Exellecorfirm, Abx 1 and others who have been genuinely impacting, educating and sharing their knowledge free of charge on this forum

I intend rearing learning hatching to get my seed to be stocked in 2 10X10 concrete ponds beginning from January

Also when digging a borehole what should be the needed water level for catfish rearing, i heard of something like [neutral] dont really understand it

Also what is the cost effect of flow through system over concrete pond that uses aerator to supply the needed oxygen

Pls how can Gasolin [Petrol] Water Pump be used to pump water from a well? Unable to upload the pics. The type of the water pump is the one normally used to pump water from river. Any idea from members of the house please.

samshoz:
Along A.I.t road, Lagos Abeokuta expressway. Hookup with robonski16 to put you through the process.

Titiladeolu:
Many thanks brother,I have said it all the other time when I posted all that is to be done. Let me say it again,you need to start production,a good smoking kiln,you need to be mindful of the king of smoke,electric is highly preferred than other because of too much of heavy metals,you need to carry out a test on your product yourself,NAFDAC is looking for the heavy metals,if its above the required amount by WHO,they will disqualify your product...once you are sure that this is less than the required standard...you prepare the kind of packaging you want to use,anytype should not allow water,you package it seal it and ready for the market...To learn this in details..you need to give me an invite to your desired place so that I will inspect and teach you all you have to do and how you will go about it...its something worth it if you need it.
That's all
