Interesting, what is the name of the pump and at what depth?

If you have enough water and where to dispose water all year round, flow through may be ideal when considering the cost implication and profit.

The number of fish stock is a function of dissolve oxygen in your pond. Other means that proved to be less expensive to run and still give increased dissolve oxygen has been introduction of aerator and flow through system
Happy New year Ttalk.

pls did he(swissFlow) finally come out with more info about the pump?
would be nice to know more about the pump he is talking about.

have a glorious new year!

have u been changing their water regularly? if yes check the acidity of the water, if it's lower than 6.5 or even 7 then lime the water , if the acidity is good 6.5-8.5 then salt bath them or add TTCM and AMCL pinch in their water for treatment or combine the two treatment withdraw feed from them for about 3 days then watch r management practices. Hope it will be helpful .

It is okay. The issue of pollution depends mostly on excessive feeds in ponds. Though there are some feeds that turn water brownish, however that does not mean pollution (if a reasonable or calculated feed quantity is not exceeded).

Some People think Fish Farming is an easy DIY thing....

I sometimes wonder is they ever wonder why people study Fisheries as a 5 year Degree Program in the Universities.

sorry I sounded strong on r post . just that I hate those years I spent in the university with those expired professors killing one with expired theories. Everything I know today in aquaculture,I paid in 50s of thousands to know them far beyond the practical scope or curriculum of those Universities.

I know what they study mostly is theory in the University. I am an agronomist and also looking for means to combine education technology with agricultural studies.

For this work, I have discussed with 400 levels students, 300 levels and 200 levels, even their lecturers and same story. One of those I was privilege to learn from in kebbi state over two decades ago is even an illiterate. So spending five years in the citadel of learning guarantees nothing.

Reason many still come out and learn from those on the field or in the business because they only have little knowledge or theories majorly

let us not put blame on the lecturers, at times the system does not help them to do something. Also they cannot work outside their curriculum.

Personally I asked at least one of the lecturer that the teaching over two to three decades does not differ from what is obtainable now and he said there are many talented lecturers, but the political will is not there. Their salaries cannot be used to give unique teaching styles because they have to continue to write papers and it's not always cheap

then what is the essence of the education,if one can Not b practically sound in his own field.

the importance of education is great, it will help your conduct yourself, it help build how one relate in a larger society, it could build meaningful friendship for your future etc.

About the area of performance, it will help your cognitive in terms of reasoning, it helps you solve things or give solution by what you learn, though most theory.

If indeed you want to be great in your field, get skilled from illiterates in your field. I have seen graduate engineers learn from welders, mechanics. The young man that taught me hatchery in fish farming was a graduate of business administration, whereas the learner is an agronomy graduate that have seen a lot in agric even on the field.

Educatn is great. And we get educated from both formal and informal sections

I already typed a lot but I realized r write-up is not worth it . Pls everyone reading this post should look into the society that we live in and tell me the essence of staying 5yrs in Universities when as an engineer u can not remove plug from an engine ,and a graduate of fishery u don't know what quanaldine is used for or what is karkaban and a six month apprenticee will separate complete engine or hatch fish then manage them up to table size that's the difference between been fed with theories and actual practicing
And some one is written that u go to university so u can conduct rself and to think and solve problems . I laugh u . What u don't know ,u don't know forget about that r 100 page notebook at r 500 level. U are actually talking to a PhD student of ATBU.Agro Economics
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by yahmaid04(m): 11:09pm On Jan 15, 2021

Having a PhD doesn't make you good. Always know that. I have been in education conferences to know that. Also know that those that have the resources to complete a master can successfully finish a PhD.

So my brother, don't let your PhD make you feel too much please. My younger brother is a PhD lecturer(not even a candidate & not even recent doctor) in the 2nd best university and my Juniors are professors(also my younger brother Juniors too), so don't let I am a PhD student make you think you know better than ANYONE here on this forum.

There are many things you don't know, but thinking because you are doing PhD that you are an authority, if you like don't have 3-5 publication from your PhD and then you will know you achieved nothing afterwards.

I wish you the best in your PhD, because of people like you I will do PhD and give hope to people that it's not impossible.
I have been doing that, hence decided to just read and know more.

I am a master student to the Glory of God with over 4.6/5 at master level, aside thesis. But for strike, my thesis would have been completed. And I am not studying in North also.

Be humble please. PhD only are authority in their fields.

PhD is about building character too, if you like don't be humble and see how you can fare. Anyone that can do master program under good supervisor and have funds will do a PhD successfully

All the best

indeed you are humble. Don't distort work that many fish farmers have done here for about a decade.

I only put you in your place on academic, so can't feel pain from an upcoming PhD student �. As long as the people benefit I am okay, my posts are here, to even say I can't beat it? Congratulations �. It's clearly seen from the beginning of the thread.
Re: Hidden Truths About Catfish Business!!! by excelsiorfarm(m): 3:02pm On Jan 16, 2021

Very right u are . u can't bit . I learn this work from old ,young ,illiterate and literate and am still learning ,so sir, u are far from bittin it. Even though we are all a subject of imperfection and can only learn help from each other and to each other.
I never condemned r expertise everyone is good on his own but u trying to talk others down ....u are far from it and still maintain my stand that most of r professors can not hatch a common fish ,how then can they train graduate on how to do that .Education is over emphasized in Africa,that's the base line
If I steps on toes then again my apologies and I apologies to everyone for distorting with thread. I promise it will be my last post ever on this thread so no need wasting r time replying.
