EARTHEN DUG-OUT POND

EARTHEN DUG-OUT PONDS:- The Oldest and Cheapest approach to Catfish farming for those in Water logged areas or places with enough clay soil profile to retain water ...........

A lot of effort is needed to maximize productivity when compared to Concrete Ponds.......

A farmer forwarded his Farm's video to Mr Fish for improvement suggestions for Upgrading.

HOW TO BUILD EARTHEN PONDS

BUILDING A POND  Choosing the site You will need a good source of water such as springs, streams and ground water.  You can also rely on rain water. Rain filled pond often dry up in dry season, so you must harvest the fish before the water level falls too low.  Soil containing clay is the best for building fish ponds because it holds water well. To examine the soil, dig a hole 1m deep and take sample of soil from the bottom. Moisten this soil and squeeze a handful of it into a ball, throw it about 50cm into the air and then catch it. If the ball falls apart in your hand this means it is not good for building ponds. Look for another site or use a lining for the ponds. If the ball holds together it probably has enough clay for fish pond.   Pond Design Fish ponds should be build so they can be filed easily and drain completely. Rectangular ponds are easier to build and harvest than round or square ponds.  The smallest pond we recommend is 10...

WATER RECIRCULATING AQUACULTURE SYSTEM (WRAS).

  USING THE NEW MOST ADVANCED METHOD OF FISH FARMING IN THE WORLD.   - Super intensive fish culture using water recirculating aquaculture system.                    (introduction and principles)         Increasing urbanization has crowded most of us into CONCRETE JUNGLES called cities, leading to increasingly scarce and expensive spare land.          The garden of an average town house is rarely large enough for more than cultivation of some vegetables and perhaps the keeping of a few chickens. It is not a place for digging pond dykes and drainage ditches.         With an annual frozen fish import bill of over N27 billion (second only to rice importation- N73 billion approximately) and a dismal protein deficient teeming population, majority of whom cannot afford a regular diet of LIVE&FRESH CATFISH at ...
