2. REQUIREMENTS FOR A
SUCCESSFUL CULTURE
1. A Good site
2. Quality Seedlings
3. Good Water Quality
4. Appropriate Feeds and Feeding
Management
5. An Intelligent and Industrous Farmer

3. 3 Factors that work together
to make a good site for a fish
pond:
1. Water supply
2. Soil
3. Topography

4. Water Supply is the most
important factor in selecting
a site
 Why?
Fish depends upon water for all their needs
Breathe
Eat
Grow
Reproduse

5. Water Sources
Sea
Rainfall
Run-off
Natura water
Springs
Wells

6. Quality watr must be available
at all times and in adequate
supply.

7. Soil
The soil of the pond must be able to
hold water.
It also contributes to te fertility of the
water because of the nutrients it
contains.

8. Topography
Topography is a word used to describe
the shape of the land- whether it is flat
or hilly, upland or lowland, etc.
The topography of the land determines
the kind of pond which can be built.

9. The most useful topography for
fish ponds is that which allows
the farmer to fill and drain
ponds using gravity.

10. What makes a good FISH
seed for stocking ?
Healthy
Uniform in size
Right size

11. When is the quality of
water considered good?
If it promotes faster growth and
high survival of fish.

12. How to improve/
maintain good water
quality?
Fertilization and Liming
Regular water exchange
Maintain ideal water depth

13. What are the nutrients
required by the fish?
 Protein
 Carbohydrates
 Lipids
 Vitamins
 Minerals

14. Types of feeding
Natural food
Supplemental
Complete

15. The nutritional value of different
artificial feeds depends on the
palatability, digestibility and
nutrients composition.

16. The nutrient composition of the
feeds should be tailored to the
requirement of the fish to be fed.

17.  The farmer requires
 Commonsense
 Initiative
 Hardwork

18. Steps in the Culture
1. Pond Preparation
2. Water Culture
3. Stocking
4. Feeding Management
5. Water Quality Management
6. Sampling
7. Harvest
