AQUACLOSE
Fish farming in Nigeria is still at a very infant stage with most of our fish farmers using flow through system. However this system comes with his pros and cons among which includes excessive water usage, low feed conversion ratio and inevitable outbreak of disease. In a bid to solve these inevitable problems i introduce you to AquaClose. AquaClose is a Recirculatory Aquaculture system that enables water reuse. Using this system, waste and harmful water parameters are converted to less harmful products. The three purification layers/chambers of this system help to control disease and it possible outbreak. With this system all of the cons related to the flow-through system is curtailed.
Farming Fish
Recently, we were invited to one of the biggest fish farm in Abuja. Our job was to conduct, analyse and present a feasibility study on the farm because the profit they were making was not encouraging.
They invited us to diagnose the problem and wanted to know what actually was going on. So, we investigated the farm by moving around with all the staff for a couple of days without interfering in their behavior, attitude to work, handling and work operations.
At the end of our visit, we noticed that members of staff dealing with feed were not experienced. Actually, neither the farm supervisor nor any of the senior staff were practically involved in the feeding. They left the feeding to regular IT-students, daily laborers and low-rated workers without supervision. So, the feeding was carried out wrongly without any vision and any idea of how to grow fish. The senior workers remained in the offices, equipped with air conditioning and gossiping the entire day. Feed is the major cost of production and by such the main job of the day and should always be supervised by the most experienced staff. During feeding time, you interact with your fish. The feeding time of fish tells alot about thier health and thier health is a determining factor to thier growth and this is directly proportional to thier FCR which then gives you and idea of the Return of Investment(ROI). Never allow feeding to be carried out by inexperienced and unmotivated workers.
