Good morning all. I also want to know how many fish can be accommodated in a 40ft by 50ft earthen pond. I stocked it with about 3,500 jumbo fishes that will be harvested at melange stage. Have I under stocked the pond? I want to know the likely number when I will be re stocking to maximize the use of the pond. I shall try and paste a pic of the pond. Thanks.

Sir, please I need your help. I am interested in fish farming but have no idea about it and the capital I have is not also huge. Am tired of sitting down at home doing nothing.

Johnnyessence:
first get in touch with d consultant in d house, visit farm of ur choice both earthen pond type and concrete pond type,know d amount to finish 500-1000 pieces of juveniles/fingerlings to table size ,know d marketing styles,know d number of bags and d amount of bags that will finish this fish to table size, then pls be focus,be patiently enough in fish farming happy farming u can also visit d agricnetwork.com website also if something is strange to u go through d page of this thread happy fish farming.

fzero:

How do we know the amount to finish 500-1000 pieced of juvenile/ fingerlings to table size.

Belexy:


Price of juveniles will range frm N20 - N30 depending on who is selling to you and location. Most times you get it for N25 per one.
For feeding: budget N230 per fish till table size.
Wooden frame tarpaulin pond of 22ft×8ft×3.5ft will take ur 1000 adult fishes (dats d size i use).
You will need a second pond of say 12 ×6×3.5 to sort. With this two ponds, ur fishes will av excess space and will grow really well.
Depending on the type of wood you use for ur wooden pond it will cost u between 60K - 100K (for the big sized pond) for a completed ready to stock tarpaulin pond.
Before you start consider your water source and drainage. Very important.

HELLOOOO!
How do I monitor the mortality of my fish in an earthen pond??

I stocked my earthen pond with 800 juveniles last Friday but i noticed they hardly finish a tin of coppens at a time. I feed them twice a day.

JuveFarms:

@ayoola190, Hope u treated the pond before stocking. From ur observation do u see some of the fishes hanging?. Most times change of environs affect their feeding rate. Tnx

kengeorge:


Please @ Belexy, do you know where I can Get original Tarpaulin? . The size big enough to construct a 15ft by 15ft without sewing.

I can really use your help, kindly drop me your number at kengeorgewests@yahoo.com, mine is 08033439957. Thanks.

Please my Ogas in the house, kindly furnish me with aerator: type, price, where it can be purchased, possibly with pictures. A await response from my experienced bro/sis in the house PLEASE

omonnakoda:
I just discovered this thread today even though it has been going for a few years.It is full of knowledge and kudos to all who have contributed so far. I am hoping someone knowledgeable will be able to answer a few questions.

First this flow through versus recirculation debate. Without getting into which is better is it possible to set it up/construct so you can operate either as flow through or recirculation or some mixture of both systems


Please note I prefer to use plastic vats instead of concrete ,assume willing to invest in water/reservoir.

I have not got any practical experience but have done a few years reading on the subject online etc

Are there good quality and reasonably priced plastic vats in Nigeria?
How can I reach the "House Consultant"

robonski15:

As a starter it will be better you start with flowthrough system though recirculatory has its numerous advantage like water management and stocking density, it's still a expensive and as a beginner start with plastic and run your flowthrough. There are reasonable plasticsc tanks like hart.

I treated the pond for 3weeks before stocking and no hanging of fish. I still need info on how to determine mortality in the pond.
