Fish farming as a business

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

The plants are epiphytes most of which live in humus and dusts which collects in the leaf bases of a palm tree. The animals are there because of these epiphytes or of the palm tree itself. A palm tree maybe divided into three regions, the crown, trunk and aerial parts of the roots. The common epiphytes found on palm trees are orchids (Diaphanthe, Bulbophyllum) figs, ferns, mosses. The animals found here are small animals like insects and spiders. You can get a soft copy of this book by sending me mail. ukponifueko@gmail.com.
