If you are starting a fish farming in 2022, things have changed. The world has changed. Agriculture has changed. The way we used to farm before has changed. Yet Fish farming remains a profitable and safe venture for new entrants into agriculture. Aquaculture is the growing of living organism inside water. This article focuses on fish farming with an emphasis on catfish farming in Jamb Expo 2023 

Lets dive in and discuss 7 questions you should answer before you start a fish farm in 2022.

1. The power of vision.

The world is a global village now. You can decide to export your fish. The requirements of nafdac and son means that you should let the decision of your target market influence the setup of your farm.

If you want to export your fishes you know that your ponds water source must be controlled. You cannot use runoff water for the farm. You would need a borehole that can be tested in waec expo

If you are raising over 20,000 fishes, you know that you would need those clients who buy fishes in tonnes. They would always bring buses, so you need parking space close to the ponds. You would also prefer earthen ponds because you would be keeping the fishes for at least 7 months. But if you are doing about 10 thousand fishes, you can do mobile tarpaulin fish ponds. You can stagger your fishes because you would sell your fishes small small rather than the whole pond at once.

To know the number of fish you can raise. Use 700naira as a cost price to raise one fish to 1kg. 

Oya calculate it, that means 1000 fishes is 700,000. Oya realistically, how many fishes can you raise to 1kg ? Please don’t start a farm and then stop short because of funds. It would make you under pressure and then sell at a loss price because you don’t have funds to continue to feed the fishes . Start small and let the farm grow.
