Hello all, can anyone share with us the state or location with the highest number of fish farms?

Please this information is needed urgently for a feasibility study.

N'landers your input is highly needed.

There is no Record on the highest number of fish farmers in a state.. Possible guess is Ogun and Lagos state.

Please house I need urgent advise. I stocked my pond with Juvenile two days ago. Yesterday i noticed that some of the fishes were just hanging with their head up, weak and do not eat when feed is thrown into the water. Please what do I do?

NB. It's an earthen pond constructed in such a way that water from my pond flows into another person's pond while my pond is connected to a river water channel with an underground pipe.

Please I need urgent advise as to what to do.

your expected range should be 250g-500g in three month ranging from 61 to 90 days for melanga . 5000 juvenal fed 915Kg , a bag of feed is 15Kg .
915Kg/ 15Kg= 61 bag of feed at 2 month and few day your fish should up to 250g.
250g * 5000=125000g
with 6% of body weight or biomass 6% * 125000g= 7500g convert g to kg 7500g =7.5Kg . this to say you to feed the fishes 7.5kg per day twices. putting some factor in consideration.

Please avoid feeding your fishes with white bread aka (Agage bread) this is one common mistake small farmers these which leads to high mortality rate due to the presences of bromite which lead to infirmation of respiratory system.

Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by PHOTSEE(m): 11:36am On Dec 10, 2018
If it take a catfish ideaically from1Kg to 2.4kg from day 1 to 180days that is 6month .from day1-day30 which weight range should within100g-150g. you use 5% biomass as your feeding rate.
Number of fish=1
1 * 100g * 5% = 5g
5g * 180 days= 900g ,it takes 900g to feed juvenile to 1kg.
If a bag of feed is 15kg, convent kg to g 15Kg=15000g
15000g-900g=14100g
=14.1kg lift on used

If a beg of feed cost 6,500 Naria per 15kg
6500/15kg = 433
each 1 kg cost 433 Naira
Convert kg to gram
1kg = 1000g
Since 1000g-900g=100g
cost of feed should be less than 433.

Factors to consider are

iii) weight of fishes ( individual or in mass g/kg) .
Topics are open for discussion feel free to ask questions thanks

TOTAL COST OF PRODUCTION
A farmer bought 1000 seed of fingerling at rate of 17 Naria each.
1000 * 17 = 17,000Naira

Total cost of feed was 283,000 at the end of 4month at hervest time.
To determine the individual cost of catfish while other variable remain constant.
283,000 / 1,000 = 283
283 +17 = 300 Naira

Congrat, test run your concrete pond by filling it water to the brim and leave for at least two days to observe if there is any leakage and yes you can wash manually to reduce the cement oozing odour.

ADVICES
Before introducing your fishes into the concrete pond you are to do the following.
1) Fill your concert pond with water and leave for 2 to 3 days before buying or introducing your fingering into the water .

pros or reasons are following:
Death rate observed as of changing of water or environment or tranfer are caused as of failure to observes this procedures .
i) it breakdown the hardness of the water .

ii) Introducing of oxygen though oxidation cause by respiration of little micro organism in the water such as mosquitos ,larvas etc.

iii) The micro organism serves ready feed for fingerling on introduce into the water.

iv) Don't feed them immediately , they might waste the feed due to strees, give enough time to adjust.
v) Design daily feeding time table
