Fish management
For better management, keep fish properly stocked in farming area and when cultivating in the fish pond, dry it completely and leave it for a month before starting afresh. Drain water off the pond and remove all fish by repeated netting.
Additionally, all living fauna in pond must be cleared out together with the weeds and dry it for a week or more. Stock 20-25 fingerlings per sqm for small ponds. Fill the pond immediately before stocking.
For commercial cultivation, keep 2-3 fish per Sqm and provide them with commercial tilapia fish feed and organic fish feed. Tilapia matures in 240 days and can be harvested by partial netting process.
Finally, sale fish directly to market or sale processed fish. Pack fish properly and store it for export market.
