Cat Fish Farming & Smoking(Processing) Seminar

Fish farming like other business has its pros and cons. And truthfully it is a very lucrative and yet a money draining business.

I have read articles about how lucrative the business is and how to invest and reap millions. All I do is just to laugh on reading such article. All they want is just for u to buy their manual and make money. Surprisingly most of them don’t have a farm of their own, they are computer farmers who don’t have any experience whatsoever in the business..

Catfish fish farming is very profitable but highly sensitive; therefore so much caution must be taken to avoid making mistakes that can cost so much loss. Just as there are numerous benefits, there are also problems involved which results from inadequate enlightenment and proper caution.

Losses resulting from mistakes and poor management are usually more fatal in catfish farms than in other case.

Some of the key areas where new fish farmers must be well grounded and informed to avoid loses include;

• Fingerlings for stocking. This is one aspect for the failure of fish farmers. Most hatcheries select the best (shooters) for themselves and sell runts to farmers.

• Pond Construction.

• Pond disinfection.

• Stocking Techniques.

• Avoiding overstocking of your pond.

• Control of environmental hazards

• Feeding your Fish rightly.

• Feed selection and formulation.

• Avoiding water contamination and pollution.
