Good Evening Great Farmers,
Does anyone have a good and scalable method or application for keeping fish farm operations records?
It's one thing to be doing business, but to maximize efficiency and productivity you have to have numbers.

If so can you give good recommendations?

Thanks,

AgriLegend.

Op, I am currently having great issues on my farm.. My juveniles are dying seriously and it caused deaths for my fishes which were about 800g and above before I sold the big ones off in a rush. Please, can I have your active whatsapp line? I need to save the juveniles urgently. Thanks

My newly hatched fry seems not to be eating. And its becoming worrisome. I will appreciate it if the guru in the house can help me out. This is the first time of experiencing such.

On the contrary, I kinow a farmer that usually overstocks his pond, uses his formulated local feed but hits an average of 2kg within 6months before sale. Where a normal farmer stocks like 1000 pieces, this man would stock between 3 to 4000. How does he do it?........... Simply clean water. He does flow through. His bore hole is on 24/7. Has a standby sound proof gen.

He uses a limited space but produce more. Though this is not advisable to begginers because of d associated risks and cost. But am looking towards that approach. It saves cost in the long run.

What do you guys think??

Space do less or jampack and apply technology?

@ omode 24, a peleting machine is simply a machine that mould feed ingredients into shape and sizes (mm). When you gring and mix all your ingredients for local feed, you simply pour them into the peleting machine to produce the feed into different mm - 2, 4,6mm as the case may be.
They come in different capacity and costs. The one am using is about the smallest. - 50kg/hr costs about N220k depending on where you buy. I got mine from a coy in Ibadan.

You are very correct!!! The third week is what I call the CAREFUL week..this is the time most hatchers dread the most.. What I do at the third week is dat I carefully clean the ponds, change the water then I add chloraphenical and tetracyclin with a bit of salt.. U have to be very careful when applying the salt..

I leave them till the next day without feeding..ur water must be clean at all times especially dis period.. Then the next day u start feeding them minimally.. And most importantly "PRAY"

chairman the green eggs are good but the golden/light brown are better to me i prefer using them.. If u notice that there are some light brown catfish in colour not pure black, they tend to grow faster. Boss you spawn with females weighing 5kg? How do u manage to handle such broodstock for stripping considering the size.. I will prefer the male for that size because of the milt, but later changed my mind when i saw the tiniest milt twice in males above 4kg, i later realized its not by size.

I found an agricultural cooperative called Releaf. What the Releaf cooperative does is that it connects good agribusinesses to genuine and trustworthy business partners (suppliers, buyers, etc).

I recommend anyone into agric should join. It's a quick one and it is free if you use this link here: www.releaf.ng

Hi Gurus.
I'd like you guys to advise me on what to choose for my Fish farm aeration. Between;

1. Air Compressor. 195L/min. 38kpa pressure
2. Air Blower. 190L/min. 6kpa pressure.

I saw a video on YouTube (by "Mr FISH"wink of a Farm using Option 2. But am confused as Option 1 has higher pressure and can serve through an expansion.
NOTE: Image on a chair is option 1, the other is option 2.
Am stuck with deciding which is better for my 3ponds System (12×9×4) tarpaulins, and I like suggestions to factor in a 300% capacity expansion (concrete pond).

Option 2 is ideal sir, since its tarpouline pond of that size 12x9x4..
