One might ask;
What is Fish Farming?
This is the cultivation of fishes irrespective of breed {tilapia or catfish etc} or scale {commercial or subsistence} for the benefit of mankind which could vary from food to source of income etc.
How can one Start a fish Farm
To be practical and straight to the poiint, all you need to start a fish farm is
1. Source of water
Most people sink boreholes or are located close to one.
Did you know that you could farm in a river using hap-pas made from net. You'd never worry about a water source.
2. Housing for the fishes e.g tanks, ponds {concrete or earthen, tarpaulin}
The tarpaulin ponds are the cheapest means of farming fishes in large quantity. Yes cheaper than tanks, concrete or even earthen ponds. Yes i farm my fishes in tarpaulin ponds.
Are you interested in this just call my mobile 08037131928 and of course for free ill let you know the details.
3.Drainage for the water e.g {soak away pits, waste land etc}
4. Feed for the fishes.
You can feed fish on already processed feed from market or of course your locally purchased feed.
How can you make feed. ill write about that in subsequent editions however if you need this urgently and most importantly for free, contact me on my mobile 08037131928 and ill happily inform you on these.
5. Water test kit {if you intend to hatch fishes}
6.Farming tools {fish baskets, feeding troughs, harvesting containers etc} this is the least in terms of cost and depends on your ability and experience.
Watch out for my continuation on this. this is just a general introduction.
