Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft777(m): 8:45am On Oct 14, 2015
it depends on which type of ponds and sytem you are operating . Both only have very little diffrence.... the general practice is that 1. if u are transporting them dont feed before and after stocking for a day interval .... 2.. make sure the ph is ok between 6 to 6.8 for fingerlings or juvenile ....3.. to prevent shock of the fish u need acclamatise them by leaving them in the transport container inside the stocking pond for few minutes and gently allowing water in the stocking pond to mix gradually with water in your transport container before finally allowing them to swim freely into your stocking pond ... the mix of both water allows for easy acclamatisation of your fishes reduce chock cause by temperatur diffrence and overall wellness...4. best to stock at night or early morning when the sun is down or not up yet.....finally add anti stress to the pond or feed. ..its multivitamin you can get everywere ...GOOD LUCK

robonski15:
We are currently setting up the hatcheries, one of the hatcheries will be only plastic vats while the other will be concrete.. we are starting out with the plastic vats setting up a simple semi recirculatory system passing through an alkanizer. The pump rotates the treated water round all the 30 spawning vats then passes through the alkanizer and back to the vat..The white tank is the alkanizer it contains resins, oyster fine sand. Rotation will be done 12 hours daily for assurance that they have good dissolved oxygen. The bio disc will also be set up.. Once we are done with the whole set up we move to construction of the tilapia ponds


Oga robonski15, Just sent you a mail. Kindly reply. Thank you.

1: Please get the following items; Salt 10KG, Wood ash (eeru) as many as possible (I will advise you visit a bakery), Oxytetracycline ( can be found where you buy floating feeds) N800 worth is fine.


2) Block the water both inlet and outlet. Do NOT allow any water to enter or go out


3) Drain the water... and leave little water to cover their body


4) Mix the three items stated in 1 above, and sprinkle it in your pond in such a way that it circulate round, also make sure you apply to the bagging inside the pond.


5) Leave them like that for 48 hours before feeding them

i guess what you saw is Bluish white film on body and this cause strained breathing .... its caused by gill damage and you see the skin peeling........solution drain the water very low add a salt solution and leave for about and hour or 2 then allow fresh water to come in ....your fish will be ok GOOD LUCK

The Scientific Need for A Biomonitoring Of An Aquatic Environment

The various heavy metal in the accumulating of the bivalve and the gastropod species has showed a high of presence and also an abundance in the marine and freshwater riverine eco-systems. Therefore, they are more suitable for the different monitoring projects or sessions. The Mussels can also accumulate and then integrate the concentrations of so many metals in seawater for a relatively long intervals as the case may be.

They also has the capacity to assimilate the trace metals from the food they consume and also from the ingestion of these inorganic particulate material (Philips, 1977). The seafood digestive gland in the bivalves is mostly a targeted organ for accumulation of these metals, as furthermore investigated, the lysosomes of a cells digestive organ are generally considered as a highly target organelles while its gills has a shown accumulation of various heavy metals that are either in the field or in a laboratory.

The environmental pollutants which includes metals pose a heavy and serious risks to many of the aquatic organisms. According to discoveries, a great deal of these previous researches being carried out has a known characterized physiological mechanisms which has a toxicity in the animals as exposed to the contaminants. The relationships between these ambient geo-chemistry, watershed land-use and also the trace Heavy metal (Zn, Cu and Pb) in the concentrations of the three types of invertebrate aquatic odonates, molluscs and also a composite were the established (Reiner and Sparling, 2001).

The Metallothioneins are a cysteine rich but low molecular in weight, the heat stables the proteins in

All are profitable as long as you are doing the right thing and have good buyers. My two cent
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by soft777(m): 2:58pm On Oct 16, 2015
for melange follow what mr robonski taught us at the starting of this tread, u need vast ponds ..its mostly better for people who have big capacity farms because its mass production... If u have the smaller or medium farm my advice is go for table size and try to sell directly to the women in the market cut off those middlemen like the eleja women who come with buses ... well it all depends on your capacity goodluck
