Ur estimate for feeding is wrong cos the price of feed is not same through out. The price for 2mm is different from 3mm,4mm,6mm and 9mm with 2mm being the highest price. Feeding will not take much as estimated in ur budget
Is not 100%. Is just for people to have an idea
Thanks for the general idea. It go a long way I thinking through the whole enterprise of fish farming particularly the feeding aspect.
Why raise my Juvenile for 6 months? And also, you failed to explain why and how the idea of 1kg feed = 1kg fish for 6 months came abt. Meaning from ur proposal, I can decide to raise my fish(juvenile) for 4 months and still spend the same amount on feed, with same quantity of feed. Why should it be so? And what’s the basis for calculating and estimating the Quantity of feed to be used in respect to the “period” of raising the fish?
What we have here is rough estimate for people to have an idea not a 100% calculation. You can as well work your own out.
Well done, but i think prices vary at every point and there are other means some fish farmer get to feed their fishes to cut down price.
Thanks for the expository. My question is, how do I determine the quantity to feed a catfish per time. U said 1kg per fish
you need to be observant while feeding your catfish. The moment the rush for the feed reduce you stop feeding. They always rush to feed so, once they slow down is an indication they are satisfied at the moment.
Good work very educative, my question is what is the cost of building concerete pond.
Actually, there is no fixed price for that. What you do is to go with what you have at hand(cash available).
Also understand that the bigger the pond the more money you are likely to spend.
I have 120,00 how many Fish can I raised?
I can’t seems to get your question
I love fish pond business but don’t know how to go about it or start. Please I will be happy if you teach me.
I like you interest but we are not into fish pond business. Just keep in touch we might find something for one
Please I need a clear estimate on raising 200 catfish starting from juvenile to fingerlings with cost of feeding at different stages of growth. Thanks
We will work on that soon. Thanks you
Nice expo.
Kindly direct on how to produce catfish feeds locally on your own without having to buy.
Thank you
Good you love the piece. Always check back for the local fish feed production
What will someone do if is fishes sre droping
Pls where is it true that after rearing the fish ,its been sold for 800 cause I even buy it more than that in the market
Retailers can sell for any price in the market depending on your bargaining power
All fishes that’ are left after six months might not be of the same size and consequently lead lower weight not meeting the expected 1kg, so reduce number of fish that you expect to be sold at that #800. So you wouldn’t be shocked at the end… Or probably run into great loss.
Please with the rush estimate,how can you calculate rush estimate for four months and the numbers of bag to be used for four months. Thank you
I want to know how to make feeds locally.I am in eket,Akwa ibom state.

It’s very useful, please kindly help me with the tips on how pond preparation before stocking fish, as in, fertilizer or something should be stocked in pond water a week or days before fishes are to be put in the pond. And I will also like to learn on how to formulate fish feed locally. Because what I learn about fish feed is not locally feed. Thank you so much as I await your reply

Excellent piece. Thanks for the presentation. It is a good guideline for practical fish farmers.
God blessed u, I have learn something very important. I wish to know how to produce the feed locally.
I am a fish farmer, but I stoke some fish that never grow to a kilo for 9 month after buying them from fingerlings. Somebody now came to my fram an call them highbreed. Pls how do I know the different kind of breed? And how can I really make my fish grow equally? Lastly what can I really do for my fish to grow faster and fat?
There is no faster way to grow fish outside quality feeding that can convert easily. Make sure your feed is reach in crude protein

I want to know the cost of raising my catfish from post fingelins to melange size thank you for the write up.
What your fish needs to attain 1kg size is 1kg of feed . Kindly, work the maths as a lay man. Assuming a 15kg bag of feed is 6k. What is the cost of 1kg. That is 6000 divided by 15 what it gives you will give you an idea
Please how can I get a good formula to f formulate my fish feed
I suggest you read this https://marywilfarms.com.ng/2020/12/12/how-make-catfish-feed-home/
Very educating
This is a working template.
I will like to be receiving your update and other messages
Good write up. At juvenile level, how many kg of floatind feed will 1000 fishes consumed in a day
Pls good calculation. But I didn’t see the cost of water.
This is a very good exposition to understanding fish farming. As we all know prices of feed has gone up to the tune of 13k for 6kg feed of 1.3mm and 14k for 12.5kg 2mm.
As a new person to fish farming what will be your candid advise to raising 500 to 700 fishes from Juvenile to 6months. Thank you
Really very happy to see how you estimated the cost of feed
Thanks for d insight.
1kg of catfish is 1200 naira in my area
How did you come about the price of N2,200 per kg of fish. Across Nigeria, I dont know of any place where catfish sells for N2,200 per kg
The essence of the price is to give people an idea and guide for the calculation
I think I enjoyed your lesson. But does appear you deliberately over bloated the cost of selling 1kg fish which you put at 2500 yet you know that the cost of selling 1kg fish right now hovers around 1300-1400. Nobody sells a catfish of 1kg that amount unless hotels and joints who are end users.
Thanks for your analysis
Pls sir,how can someone know the production of the fishmeal,
Fish meal is a proteinaceous flour material. It is produced by cooking, pressing, drying, followed by grinding of complete fish or unwanted fish pieces
I am surprised you can sale your fish for up to 2500 per kg, abeg u de buy from Uyo, make I follow sale my own give you at that rate. Abi u just de whyne people wey want jump enter make Dem think say profit dey this thing well well?
How can one know how to produce local feed
Read our post on that
Thank you for this research.
Thanks very much for your estimate,
Your selling price is totally wrong.one kg of catfish are sold between 1300 to 1500 Nair but you said 1kg is 2500 naira.
yea. the estimation is to give people an idea. that for the correction
Thank you for this explanation, please I need market to sell my table size catfish, either local or international market
Where do they sell a kg of fish for 2500 naira for bulk purchase? This is wrong information
Please price of fish per kilo in ibadan,all through 2022 till date is #1,000 per kilo .
More importantly the buyers will be grading sizes, 700g to 1kg is #900 per kilo.and 1kg to 2kg #1,150 per kilo all manner like that.
Price is ma problem in catfish business we need to come to round table to determine price.
Catfish business is going down the drain .
My name is Oladeji Olatunji Bolaji, comment by on olatunjioladeji7@gmail.com
Price is too bad here in ibadan.
