if you don't have the technical know how about the business do not venture into it because they surely miss lead you to get what they want to get from you, try to know the way in and way out before you put your hard earn money into it, because we 've a lot of theory farmers out there make their money through convincing paper work without experience. call to get the real fact about fish farming practically. phone : 08038886196 email : metroy4x@yahoo.com |

Good day all, Please I would like to ask farmers who have sold catfish directly to restaurants, peppersoup joints and final consumers what price they sold for. We all know that the market women buy at (500 - 600)/ kg, depending on location. My question is how much do restaurants, point and kill, peppersoup joints and final consumers pay? Do they also buy per kg? Thanks. |

manya:NIOMR is located in V.I. Lagos jus before silverbird galleria..... they are basically into research on marine species and prawns. also into deep sea trawling and hi tech processing. I think ARAC in PH is basically into feed mill technology... |

slimfit042: This changing water every 7 days sounds so scary. Reason for changing water is to get rid of the wastes (ammonia, carbondioxide, fish poo, feed wastes etc) and to also provide fresh oxygenated water for the fishes. Using an aerator only oxygenates the water, it doesnt get rid of wastes. Those wastes i mentioned up there can make ur fishes do so poorly. Ur fishes might not die, but they wont do as well as the fishes of someone who changes water regularly or who does flow through and they would most likely be so stunted in growth. If u are really bent on doing fish farming as a business, u should look into the recirculatory system since regular supply of water and drainage is a major challenge in ur area. Another option is to greatly reduce the number of fishes u want to stock and use a very big pond so that u dont have to change water regulary but even at that, u will still not derive maximum satisfaction in the harvest. |

Fhemmmy: I think there is someone on nairaland who produces it locally, i can remember seeing an advert once. I cant remember the person. I also know that one can import the various componets from China. Its really very expensive and it will work better with solar powerd panels to boycott issues wt NEPA. |

[quote author=cintia post=38342802][/quote] May God see u through. I think u should consider getting a consultant or an experienced plumber for a project of this magnitude.Any little mistake or omission in the construction might cost more to repair or fixed. |

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by robonski15(m): 3:11pm On Sep 26, 2015 |
cintia:Good job, I noticed two pillars on both side of the pond which is very good to avoid collapse.. make sure all the blocks are filled with concrete and well matched down. For drainage channel all pipe at the back of the pond close to the face, do aittle drainage and lookout for where the water can be channeled to. While plastering make the pond sloppy towards the drainage for easy flow of water while flushing . |
