Anyone interested in fish farming must make a decision, is it for business or sport or hobby?
This discourse is mainly centered on fish farming as a business.
Things you must consider:
Map out your location - in your locality is fish a forbidden meat or is it a delicacy, are there joints, bars, markets spots etc were fish is used or sold?
Once you have answered the questions above in the affirmative, then the location is good for raising fish.
Next find out the cost of fish in the locality this will help guide you on the profit margin in the business and also limit your expenditure. For example if fish is sold in that locality for 500# a kg then you must ensure that you don't spend 400# on a kg of fish. Economics is very important here. You must design a plan to reduce your running cost so as to make profit.
In fish farming, fish have different stages of development, - fingerlings, post fingerlings, juveniles, young adults and the matured adults.
You can decide on which stage you want to do business with.
For me my area is matured adults production.!!!!!
I buy my stàrting stock either as juveniles or post fingerlings, we I feed til matured adults
Buoyancy The density of fresh water is considerably less than that of the sea and such floatation is a greater problem for fresh water plankton. There is occasional flooding which submerges the plants. The water lilies, water lettuce, water hyacinth are able to stay afloat because of the air spaces in the lower part of the leaves as well as in the skins and roots.
