This has been an interesting thread all along. My understanding of business ventures is that their are pitfalls lining the way to success in any business and these pitfalls can be avoided if one has a good mentor that will inform you of his own experiences and how he handled such challenges.

In the absence of a good mentor, one is bound to learn the hard way and profitability will continue to dwindle till you begin to learn and perfect your skills in the trade. I think this forum is full of experienced farmers that have learnt bitter lessons in the past and should be telling such stories so that others can learn and avoid such mistakes.

Like me, when we first started breeding, we used only one vat and after the eggs hatched, we removed the spawning net and allowed the dead eggs and the larvae to remain in the same vat. This led to rapid pollution of the water and the larvae all died the following day after hatching. On a second attempt. we had two Vats for the breeding. we spawned in one vat and removed the spawning net in the second vat thus leaving few dead eggs in the first vat. Once again, we made the mistake of over stressing the larvae by constantly syphoning the dead eggs from the larvae and this led to major catastrophy as the larvae died after 2days out of too much stress as we syphoned like 4times in a day. At the third attempt, we avoided the two previous errors and we have been smiling to the bank.

So when a farmer experiences these kind of disappointments, he may come to the conclusion that catfish farming is not as profitable as being portrayed

You need to add more flesh to your post so that we can understand if you are proposing an existing technology or if you have something new that can actually take our breathe away. You need to add stuffs like the price differential between your product and say a concrete pond of same size.

Am looking forward to more details from you and am sure other farms too are also looking forward to any system that can greatly increase our profitability.

cheers

Poultry

you need to explain why you choose poultry over fish farming with profitability analysis so that we can be properly educated and scrutinize your analysis too
