No it will not, get an incubator net, MOSTLY MOSQUITO NET . You can fasten a net to some light pvc pipe to do it .. The eggs will be seating on the net and your water flow rate is very low i mean the pressure of the water entering the vat and going out will be very minimal , so it can not flush the eggs on the hatchery net . just reduce to the lowest minimal..as your fries grow u increase it little by little GODBLESS.
Note that it's not the regular mosquito net but the black net mostly used for aluminium windows

@robonski15, Can we see how your Biofilters looks like?

We use bio filter beads which is inside the big white tank I posted earlier on.

My brother to doff cap for them is not enough, they need more than National Award. Let our presidents come and see and learn how to change Nigeria from them. They don't want to know your ethnicity and answers will be given to every of your question. God will definitely AWARD AND REWARD THEM.

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERY BODY IN THE HOUSE : I WILL BE ANALYSING THE CHEAP LOCAL FEED IN A WAY THAT BOTH A NEW PERSON IN THE BUSINESS CAN UNDERSTAND IN A LAY MAN LANGUAGE. NOW AFRICAN CATFISH AS A CASE STUDY, AS I SAID EARLIER CATFISH ARE CARNIVOROUS / OMINIVOUS MEANS THEY NEED FLESH FOR GOOD GROWTH U CAN NOT GIVE LION GRASS TO EAT AND EXPECT IT TO GROW OR ACCEPT IT LIKEWISE OR GIVE A COW MEAT TO EAT AND EXPECT IT TO GROW. KNOWING THIS FACTS ITS GOOD WE KNOW THE NUTRITIONAL VALUE OF CATFISH TO ATTAIN PROPER GROWTH ALL THE NUTRIENT CONTAIN IN CATFISH FEED ARE EQUALLY IMPORTANT . BUT THERE IS WERE THE COST OF PRODUCTION INCREASES; THATS THE PROTIEN OR SAY CRUDE PROTEIN THIS IS VERY ESENTIAL FOR THE PROPER GROWTH AND FLESH OR TISSUE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR FISH. BEFORE U CAN START TO INCREASE THE CARBOHYDRATE FOR WEIGHT GAIN TOWARDS THE END OF YOUR HARVEST :::NOW FOR CATFISH FARMING THE MOST EXPENSIVE PART IS FEEDING ABOUT 75% OF THE MONEY IS FEED AUTOMATICALLY 75 % OF THIS MONEY TO MAKE THE NUTRIENTS OF THE FEED ALSO IS SPENT ON CRUDE PROTEIN : SO KNOWING THIS ANALYSIS WE SHOULD FIND A WAY OF REDUCING THE AMOUNT SPEND ON CRUDE PROTIEN THE EQUATION IS LIKE THIS CATFISH FARMING = FEEDING = CRUDE PROTEIN : SO KNOWING THIS HOW DO WE REDUCE THE COSTLY FISHMEAL WHICH IS THE MAJOR INGREDIENT USED AS SOURCE OF CRUDE PROTEIN IN A FISH FEED AND AT THE SAME TIME GET THE ADEQUATE % CRUDE PROTEIN NEEDED FOR CATFISH FAST GROWTH::::: DO U KNOW THAT SWEET POTATOE LEAVES ALONE HAVE A CRUDE PROTEIN OF 29 percent AND FISH MEAL HAS 64% FORGET THOSE STORY ABOUT 72% FISH MEAL THE REAL AMOUNT CRUDE PROTEIN IS 64% : THIS IS A FACT : WE ALL KNOW GETTING SWEET POTATO LEAVES IS JUST ZERO COST. YOU CAN GO TO ANY POTATOE FARM THE LEAVES ARE EITHER BURNT OR THROWN AWAY AFTER HARVESTING THER POTATOES YOU CAN EVEN CUT THE LEAVES FROM THE SWEET POTATOE PLANT WHILE THE PLANT IS STILL GROWING :THEY FARMERS WILL BE VERY GLAD YOU COME AND CARRY THE LEAVES FOR THEM CAUSE ITS WASTE TO THEM, BUT TO US FISH FARMERS ITS VERY GOOD AND CHEAP SOURCE OF CRUDE PROTEIN TO REPLACE SOME REASONABLE PERCENTAGE OF THE COSTLY FISH MEAL. U SPEND ALMOST ZERO NAIRA TO GET, WHEN YOU CALCULATE IT IN TONES OF FEED U PRODUCE DURING MONTHS OF FEEDING YOUR FISH YOU WILL DISCOVER A VERY GREAT DECREASE IN YOUR COST OF FEED AND AUTOMATICALLY INCREASE IN PROFIT :::: NOW LET ME ELABORATE HOW YOU CALCULATE THE WAY U REPLACE SOME PERCENTAGE OF YOUR FISH MEAL AND STILL GET THE SAME PERCENTAGE CRUDE PROTEIN YOU NEED FOR YOUR FISH FEED SO USING CATFISH FOR THIS CASE STUDY CATFISH REQUIRE AVERAGE OF 35% OF CRUDE PROTEIN TO GROW WELL ::: USING PEARSON SQUARE METHOD .... 64 fish meal minus 35 target protein we get difference of 29 , then for the potato leave meal 29 potato leave minus the 35 target protein we get a of 6 next stage we add both difference together it gives us 29 and 6 get total of 35 total inclusion by adding there percentage inclusions we get for fish meal 29 divided by 35 total inclusion multiply by 100 it gives 82.85 approximate 83 while for the potato leaf meal 6 divide by 35 total inclusion multiply by 100 will give 17.1 approximate 17 . when u sum them u get 83 plus 17 u get 100 what this implies IS THAT AS YOU REDUCE YOUR FISH MEAL U INCREASE YOUR POTATO LEAVES AUTOMATICALLY WHAT THIS CALCULATIONS IMPLIES IS THAT 83 percent POTATO LEAVE MEAL CAN BE USED WITH 17 PERCENT FISH MEAL AND U GET THE REQUIRED 35% CRUDE PROTEIN YOUR FISH REQUIRE FOR PROPER GROWTH : PLEASE IF U DONT UNDERSTAND THE CALCULATION YOU CAN TELL ME UR MATERIALS THAT YOU HAVE AND I WILL DO THE CALCULATION AND TELL YOU THE PERCENTAGE OF HOW U MIX CAUSE FEED FORMULA VARIES FROM ONE FEED MILL TO THE OTHER BUT MY MAIN REASON FOR THIS ANALYSIS, IS TO GIVE U LIST OF CHEAP INGREDIENTS THAT CAN REDUCE THE USE OF THE COSTLY FISH MEAL. SOME LIST OF CHEAP SOURCE POTATO LEAF MEAL 29% CRUDE PROTEIN GO TO ANY SWEET POTATO FARM COLLECT SOME POTATO LEAF IT COST NOTHING, BOIL IT REMOVE THE LEAVE AND DRY IT IN THE SUN AND TAKE IT TO THE FEED MILL TO GROUND IT TO POWDER U GET YOUR 29 PERCENT CRUDE PROTEIN :: BONE MEAL 38 percent crude protein GO TO ANY ABATTOIR, BUY BONES THERE VERY CHEAP U CAN EVEN GET THERE FOR ALMOST FREE BOIL IT LITTLE WATER TO KILL ANY BACTERIA IN IT THEN DRY IT FOR A WEEK OR 2 WEEKS ON THE SUN THEN TAKE IT TO THE FEED MILL THEY CRUSH AND GROUND IT; YOU GET YOUR BONE MEAL:: DO YOU KNOW THAT FEATHER MEAL CONTAINS 74.5 crude protein EVEN MORE THAN YOUR FISH MEAL LOL , I KNOW MANY WILL BE SURPRISE . YOU CAN GET FEATHER FROM THE MALAM OUTSIDE THAT SELL ROASTED CHICKEN OUTSIDE OR ANY WERE CHICKEN IS KILLED OR PROCESSED IN MASS , THIS IS JUST FREE THEY WILL BE GLAD U HAVE HELP THEM CARRY THERE DIRTY , BUT ITS THE HIGHEST CRUDE PROTEIN : GET IT BOIL IT LIGHTLY TO KILL ANY BACTERIA ALLOW IT TO SUNDRY VERY WELL FOR SOME DAYS TAKE IT TO FEED MILL AND GROUND U HAVE YOUR FEATHER MILL:::I HAVE LOTS AND LOTS OF VERY CHEAP SOURCE OF CRUDE PROTEIN THAT CAN REPLACE YOUR FISH MEAL UP TO 85% AM NOT AGAINST SOYA MEAL BUT THE PB IS SOYA IS NOW VERY COSTLY BECAUSE ALL ANIMAL FARMERS POULTRY FARMERS USE SOYA THERE BY MAKING THE SOYA EXPENSIVE SO TO ME SOYA IS NO MORE ECONOMICAL THE DEMAND IS MUCH I HOPE THIS IS AN EYE OPENER NOW FOR MY PART 2 3 and part 4 OR TO BE CONTINUED ACCORDING TO HOME VIDEO VISIT agricnetwork.com I WILL PUT MORE LIST OF CHEAP CRUDE PROTEIN EVEN HIGHER THAN YOUR FISH MEAL .MORE UPDATE ON agricnetwork.com I WILL ELABORATE 1 HOW YOUR FISH CAN EAT YOUR LOCAL FEED MORE THAN THE FOREIGHN FEED BIG SECRET 2, I WILL TEACH U HOW TO MAKE YOUR LOCALLY MADE FEED FLOAT WATCH OUT ON agricnetwork DAILY UPDATE::::::GOOD LUCK

Please house, there's a particular coppens catfish feeding schedule tablee I used to have like 15 years ago, I can't seem to find it again on the net. The one I see now is not the complete one. The one I see now is not broken down to the exact fish weight and daily ratio, rather just a weight range and %body weight.

Anyone with the table broken down to daily feeding rate with daily fish weight? I don google am tire, wished I had stored it in my email then.

Our gurus in the house, kindly help out

The Biomonitoring is a scientific technique used in assessing the environment which includes human exposures to natural and chemicals. Based on sampling analysis of individual organism’s and fluids. The results provide information of natural and man-made chemicals that have entered and also remained in the organisms in the corresponding organism. But due to the consistency between these selected organisms, the corresponding living space, the bio-monitoring can also offer data on a potential effects of integrated toxicities of the pollutants, this is in reflecting the corresponding deleterious degree of an environment (Zhoua et al., 2008).

An important approach the occupational exposures in bio-monitoring which provides the total estimate of the dose absorbed and as well as gives an indirect access target site concentrations. This reveals and measures their toxic effect biological indicators which can as well be used. The active and passive are monitoring the two general approaches of the pollutants and their toxic effects at all the available levels from species to a community level of the eco-system.
