robonski15: I also attest to this, a man also narrated his ordeal with them and decided to start processing the fishes using local oven, which he will then market at a convenient time, I was really impressed with his method |

robonski15: Do you need to drain water in dug earthen pond? What is the importance of pond fertilization? Is it a must that the water in pond become green? I learnt a farm rear pigs to feed cat fish |

FISH FARMING WITHOUT TEARS -Liaise with other farmers and try to get as many contacts as possible of fish buyers before harvest time. -Different fish buyers have different sizes of fish they buy. Get the contacts of buyers for all the sizes. -Do not drain water completely in your fish pond before negotiation with ur buyers. -Be friendly with your fish buyers but at the same time strict. It's a business you are running and not a charitable organisation. - Even if you are desperate to sell off your fishes, pretend you are not desperate to sell. Your body language tells a lot, so comport yourself in the presence of your buyers. - Always have some fish feed on stand-by (enough feed to feed your fishes for a week) during harvest because your buyers might disappoint you and you will need to keep feeding your fishes till you get another serious buyer. -Do not be intimidated by the prices the buyers are offering... Its your fish and if you decide you don't want to sell at the price the buyers offer, they won't kill you. -About a week to sales, decide on the prices of your fishes and stick at that price during negotiations. -As a guide, do not sell fishes above 1kg for less than N500 per kilo (prices can fluctuate but try not to go below this). -Always use your own weighing scale when selling. The fish buyer can confirm with their own scale if they want. -Do not sell on credit, but partial credit can be given to long time customer who has a guaranteed reputation with you and you know the person's shop or market stall. -Your eyes must be on the weighing scale at all times; you cannot be the one packing the fish from the pond and at the dame time watching and recording the weight on scale. -Get at least one other person to assist you during sales. Do not ever be alone when making sales in large quantity. The fish buyers have a natural tendency to cheat. -If your sales are going to run into hundreds of thousands of naira, encourage payment into your account rather than deal with cash... It would be sad if the senior ogas of the night come and take their share. It means that you should have an idea of your expected harvest in kg & price range. -Even if you don't sell hundreds of thousands, try not to be in the habit keeping large sums of money in the house after sales. Happy sales my people and a very wonderful New Year. - - BELEXY 8 Likes |

Happy new year to all. Here is a picture i took in 2009 when i began my journey as a fish farmer. I had three wooden vat which was constructed by our very own Micky fish, and surprisingly the vats are still being used today but converted to a spawning vat. For those of us that just ventured into fish farming always remember that from small beginnings come great thing. Risk more than what people think is safe and dream more than others think is practical. cheers www.agricnetwork.com 8 Likes |

TOKUGAWA: or dt u have been on honeymoon since cos d disappearance started shortly after you got married. Anyway, i noticed that your earthen ponds have water in and out. how often do u change water in an earthen pond? Can one use borehole as source of water for earthen pond? My friend is moving into his house. It is a very big plot and he intends to start his fish pond latest by feb. How wil he solve the challenge of drainage for the pond? The land is sloped inward- to the inside. The area has no drainage constructed and cos of the sloppy terain, he is scared dt water may spoilt ppl's property if he sends it outside. Kindly assist with solution. |
