Fish Farming

Get sodium carbonate and add it to your tank, it also depends on the size of your tank, like for 1500 litres u can add three spoonful then test. you can also add soda ash to the water. If you have a reservoir, add soda ash to it once it is filled with water, leave for few hours then pump it to d pond it will boost its pH.

Returns depend on inputs. Inputs are correct fish stocking rates, good quality identifiable seed, proper fertilization, vigilance and strong management. Harvest techniques, proper magement of harvesters, transportation to market and having reliable staff to sell the produce is also very important. On average, you should expect to sell over Rs. 100,000 worth of fish per acre (gross). Average net income from fish farms is over Rs. 50,000 per acre per year but with proper management, net profits of Rs. 100,000 per acre per year can be achieved.

Any pipe in a pond is for the control of water flow in and out of d pond.

organically, composted cow manure, sustainably, fish oil, anything that sounds like it started with the earth or an animal. It's great if a farmer says, "Well, we're not certified organic," because they will likely follow that up with the fact that they grow organically but can't afford or don't choose the certification. That nets you a safe, chemical-free product without the extra cost.

wild Alaskan salmon. Line-caught is best, but probably not necessary once you're in Alaska. Line-caught somewhere else greatly increases the fish's chances of being wild outside the fish farm.

outside regularly, on pasture

The best type at present (2010) for the province of Sindh is a land based modified extensive or at best semi-intensive finfish / fish culture.

Catfish have sizes: we have fingerlings, juveniles and post juveniles. I always advise potential farmers to go for juveniles since most of them don't have facilities to handle fingerlings. Healthy juveniles cost between 25-30 naira

Oysters can grow very well in cold water if there is abundant, high-quality plankton. Many estuaries in Alaska produce so much high-quality plankton during certain times of the year that Alaskan shellfish can match growth achieved by shellfish raised in warmer waters of the Pacific Northwest. Cold, clean water also reduces bacterial contamination, extending shelf life and assuring safety when eating cultured oysters, especially when eaten raw.

For slime, you clean with foam, don't allow water to stay long and don't overfeed. Slime is a form of algae.

Fingerlings are fishes that are after birth about 1 week to about 3 weeks old, while juveniles are 4 weeks to about 6 weeks after birth. Juveniles should be about 8 cm in length and 2 grams in weight.

organic food, grass, including hay and alfalfa in winter (for

cows), bugs, grass, outside things, as well as either local or organic grain

(for chickens). Important follow-up:

Does the feed include corn and soy? If yes, are they genetically modified?

Thatta and Badin are most suitable. For farmers/investors in Karachi, Thatta, Gharo/Sakro are the most suitable.

I can't tell you when to change the size of feeds because it depends on how fast or slow your fish grow in size. First, when you stock with juveniles feed them with 2mm for like 3 weeks to help in boosting their growth rate because 2mm protein content is higher than the rest. The greater the feed size, the lower its protein content. It's for the person feeding to discern when to change from 3mm to 4.5mm, 6mm. Like for instance when feeding with 3mm, he will know when to change to 4.5mm due to the fact the feed 3mm will look too small in proportion to the size of the mouth of the fishes.

It's possible, but you'll make sure that there is constant water supply 2 d pond. You'll have to put water in the pond 24/7 to sustain d water level. For 500 fishes you can dig a 10 by 6 feet pond with a depth of five feet. It's very possible, so far u have a reliable source of water supply. 14/9 feet with 2 metres depth should do.

This is another good question. Catfish price varies from place to place. In some places, 1kg-sized fish goes between 500-520, while in some places, we have 460-480. But also have this in mind that not all the 1000 pcs will survive and also not all with attain 1kg averagely. However, if they are well fed and raised under the appropriate conditions, you should have above 850kg at the end of the day. So if you do your maths with the price range I give above, you will still make profit. Profit margin however depends on the pond type you choose. Concrete and tarpaulin ponds consume more money than earthen ponds because of the need to change water.
