Published

on


In Nigeria is yet another potential avenue awaiting exploitation. There are about 264 dams in Nigeria but are all grossly under utilised many were built for multipurpose usage for water supply, fishing , hydro electricity and other ecosystem. Annually, Nigeria import about 900,000 Mt of Fish while annual consumption is about 1.5MMT . (Dir. Water Supply and Public Partnership FMin.of Water resources ).
Different types of Fishing methods abound. The MOBILE GALVANISED TARPAULIN shall be discussed.

CATFISH FARMING
POND shall be considered.

 POND      FEATURES 

— MOBILE GALVANISED TARPAULIN PONDS.
— POND SIZE – Length Xcm ,Breath Ycm and Zcm Heigth . Can contain about 2000- 2500 fish each while the water flow shall be “Flow-through” system for oxygen enhancement and to prevent acidic formation due to excretion from the fish.
— Borehole for constant water supply. With Regulated pH 7.
— Driven by submissive water pump.
— Drainage pipes from each pond into a drainage chamber into community effluent.

– Feed meals shall be a composite of Artificial compounded Fish mode of feeding in the natural ecosystem shown below.

FARM SIZE — 20’×40′ “feet” behind or in front of main building.

         CAT FISH  SPECIES

— Are Omnivores feed both on plants and animals matters they are otherwise called “Detritivores” feeding on algea , vegetables, insects and fish eg Claridae, Mormydae, Aletea Sp mectrokids, synodectae

OTHER MODE OF FEEDING OF FISHES are :
HERBIVORES – Feed mostly on plants and vegetables matters eg Tilapia, Clupeide, pellenular, ethinala finibriate. In fresh water ecosystem . others are

  • PREDATOR
  • CARNIVORES. REPRODUCTION OF FINGERLINGS —
    Reproduction is a process whereby organisms replicate themselves. It’s mainly by sexual methods in fish,this leads to a genetic variation and hybrid of new species.
    ■– In the instance of commercial Cat fish farming reproduction is by Artificial insemination .

●– A Typical Feed Meal Nutritional Composition include :

  • Soybeans meal, Fine fish oil, Meat and Bone meal, Poultry bye products meal, Hydrolysed feathers, etc
    . All these are compounded and mold/pelletised by machine
    into dried chips of 2mm
    , 3mm and 4.5mm the juvenile are started with 2mm and increase size of pellets with age ..

✔️At WufasAgronet, we provide adequate cooling effects on milk production and other perishables to support the Livestock Ministry through our competent INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP with foreign experts.

TYPES OF COLD CHAINS

-SHOCK FREEZERS
Shock Freezers are professional equipment that controls temperature necessary for keeping products fresh for a long time.
While preserving the products the equipment makes to keep undamaged nutritional value of the products after being defrosted. The equipment is made to consists of Double Stage Semi Hermatic compressors. The Shock freezers system allows to lower the temperature very rapidly up to -180°C degrees. Freezing is provided by air coolers of it by blowing over fronted surface of the wagon. This enables to freeze down quickly in cold air flow. The room air should not exceed 35°/-40.°C. Besides, it’s proven to be a low-waste and environment friendly system.

COLDSTORAGE
This system is manufactured and installed with the entire components like it is ready to use. It could be of mobile device.
This system can be disassembled so it can be moved to other places.
Cold storage consist of the following levels and types of preserving:
-Cold-rooms 🙁 +16° / +5°C)
-Cold storage Rooms (+5°/-5°C)
-Freezing Rooms : (-18°/-23°C)
-Shock freezer :(-35°/-40°C) .

DEEPFREEZE ROOMS.
These are for preserving products such as meat, poultry etc. For a long time. They are preserved under temperatures not exceeding – 18°/-23°C. In order to isolate these rooms 150mm width sandwich panels are used.

COLD ROOMS
Cold rooms are used to keep baked goods, chocolates etc.
The cold rooms prevent bacteria from growing. Low ventilation allows workers to work without endangering their health which is very important aspect too.
