What You Need To Get Started Fish Farming

1. Secure a Land – Any location is good since
fish doesn’t cause any environmental disturbance.
Look for land where you can get it cheap and buy.

Depending on the capacity you wants to operate
on, half plot of land is just good enough for
average fish farm.

However, you may go for something bigger like full
plot or two if you can afford it probably for
convenience sake. If you already have a compound
with leftover space you thing can accommodate
two or three ponds, you may use it.

2. Construct Ponds – You need to engage the
service of expert pond construction engineer or you
go to another fish farm to get the specification and
construction requirements. The plumbing work
must be properly done to ensure proper drainage.

3. Dig a Borehole – Adequate water supply is the
lifeblood of fish farm and lack of it may result to
disaster because water need to be changed on
regular interval. Naturally available sources of water
such as borehole and river water is the most
suitable. Rain water and tap water from chemically
treated source is not recommended for fish
cultivation.

4. Overhead Tank – This is the water reservoir
from which water is supplied to your ponds. This
tank has to be connected to your ponds through
plumbing system to make it convenient for water
to flow into your ponds when needed.

5. Juvenile Fish – Get your juvenile from another
farm that specializes in supplying it. You need to
go for the high yield specie of catfish or tilapia and
make sure you are getting it from a healthy farm.

6. Get Training – Not the kind of training you get
from one day seminars; you need to get attached
to a fish farm for proper apprenticeship. For you to
properly learn this trade, you need at least two
months training on this.
Remember that your investment is at stake, trial
and error is not good in business except you have
unlimited funds to experiment with.
