This is so great a content. I was literary blown away by your intro story. I was so interested in the number of smacks you gave the guy, lol. This is so awesome. Every aspiring fish farmer should watch this. Amazing content I must confess the FarmLady. Thanks for all you do.
@@TheFarmLadyAquaticswhat if you are running a recirculatory system of fish farm known as RAS. Does this same analysis works with this same calculations ?
FarmLady, thank you for sharing your experience. What is the average initial weight of fish at the grow-out stage? What is the mortality rate during that stage?
wow i'm not a fish farmer but i watched this video to the end and calculated the mathematics with you... it was really interesting to follow, I'm really inspire, like i should quickly start a fish farm immediately. This is so Educative. Kudos dear
Awww... Sis.. Thanks so much. I'll be glad to hear one day you've set up a mini fish pond for more amazing recipes on your channel. Sending you loads of love ❤❤❤
Thank you so much for the informative lectures you so tirelessly give us and we really enjoy them big time as we are trying to start our first backyard fish tank farming however, we have a question; Does the equation 10ltrs= 1kg, is it standard for all types of fish rather, does it apply to Tilapia fish as well or it's just the equation for Catfish?
Wooooow woooow woooow! You just made my day. Am Abel from Uganda and trust me I've learnt a lot from this video. And God willing am going to watch all your video clips so that by the end I can also start a fish farm somewhere. Thanks very much for this very informative video
The Intro is everything😂. Yorubas in the house can relate. A lot of beginner farmers blame their fishes not growing on the breeders when they didn't do their homework 😊.. I'll share this to my friends
Thank you so much. This is both educative and real time applicable. I have a question. If my target is to grow juveniles to say 100 or 200 grams in a cylindrical plastic before transferring to the grow out pond, do I use simple proportion? That is 1 litre per fish or 2 litres per fish respectively?
Thank you very much for sharing this. Which means from your calculations, my pond that I have being estimating to take up 3,000 fishes up to 1 kg can actually take up to 7,928 fishes comfortably. Because each of my earthen pond is 35ft by 20ft by 4ft (the actual volume of water). I think I have to start thinking of stocking at least 5 thousand fishes in each of my ponds. I will be updating my process on my channel as well as the farm progresses. Thanks once again for sharing.
From experience 10,000 is too small to raise 1000kg except it is a recirculatory pond. It is better to use 20,000=1kg. If not your water gets dirty easily. Fish will not grow.
Do try it sir, it won't give you the required result you want. Reason 1. Is because in an earthen pond, it is not only your cat fish that live and share the available space oxygen in your earthen pond, there are other biological matters that compete with your fishes in terms of space, light and dissolve oxygen. 2. If your pond dimension like you said is 35ft x 20ft x 4ft, it means the volume of your pond is 2800 ft. This in liters will be 79296L. Judging by shikemis explanation, you should be able to stock about 7929 pieces of catfish. But this won't be realistic because the following questions need to be asked an noted. (I) . Is the water volume in your earthen pond at the exact amount of 79296L? (II). Can you determine the amount of other biological matters competing with your fishes? Unlike in concrete and plastic pond whose waters are frequently changed thus destroying the cycles of other living things in the pond. (III). Are all the fishes stocked of the same weight 1kg? Some will obviously be 1.5 and above though, some fishes may also be around 800g. 3. So to be on a safer side, and to prevent over crowding of the pond, you can use the standard of about 15L = 1kg or 20L = 1kg. With the above given, you should be able to comfortably stock between 4000 to 5000 pieces of fish. With the confidence of your fishes growing well and making you more money. Thanks
thanks for this info, but 1 question. if i try want to do 3 layers fishes, i mean the different fishes which grow at top layer, middle layer, bottom layer, can i make the calculation as 3x ?
Hello farmlady Good afternoon, Evening thou am educated but I still find it difficult to understand the simple calculation you just gave out concerning density of catfish to stock in a pond at a go, Now my question is how many fish can I stock in 3000 litre of of pond?

No please. Even if you'll want to eat it, allow the ovulin effect to wear off, give it a month. But ideally you shouldn't eat it cause it can still be used to spawn another set of eggs as it takes 3months for the fish to have another set of eggs after the first spawning
Hi there, I’m looking for an exporter of Heterobranchus longifilis and Clarias goriepinus in Nigeria. Is there any chance you could suggest anyone? Thank you :)
Hi I'm building a 30000 capacity fish on a concrete pond. I am planning to have 2000 fishes in one pond. please what size is the pond going to be for the 2000 fishes thanks.
Thank you for your video. My question is I have a 15 x 10 x 4 tarpaulin tank, The plan is to grow to 300-350grams of fish. How many fish should I shock in this tank? The other question is what is the recommended Fill-Line for such tank size?
170 fishes for that size of tank... Fill line should be to the brim(impossible). Then you have to reduce the water level and recalculate to having 150 fishes to target your 350grams goal...Bon jornee
Thank you so much farm lady. This is quite educative . I am a fresher(starter) in fish farming. Please can you add me to any of your whatsapp platform.
