Aqua culture: farming of Tilapia / Bangus / Suahe

[badkuk]

Hmm, there was this article in time magazine a few years back talking about sustainable aqua farming. They were raising baramundi indoors, from hatching up to harvesting. Pero tingin ko katakut takot na investment yan.

It also presented a setup wherein fish were raised side by side with shellfish and plants. The idea is that the shellfish would eat leftover feeds, and the plants would absorb the other wastes. Bale walang pollution. But i think theoretical/proof of concept stage pa lang yun.

Sa israel ginagawa nila yun tilapia nga lang. Aquaponics tawag don, yung waste ng fish papunta sa plant then plant absorve nitrates or pagbalik sa pond filtered na water.

very profitable ang aquaculture specially the high valued species like sugpo, lapu lapu, crabs etc.. ok din ang tilapia and bangus.
if you want to be in aquaculture business, its very important na you have to be there 24/7, ang dami nang nalugi because of pilferage etc etc
sadly kasama ako dun. never ever run the fishpond or fish cage by a remote control. mabilis na ang marketing, you will be surprise ang daming tumatwag sayo asking how much yung fish mo.

That's quite true. Next to pollution problems in some areas, the real cause of failure is not being there to manage on-hand. Even with a trained and trusted farm manager, my dad had a hard time with his fish ponds since he had to be in Manila often.

yung pinsan ko hindi nakapag aral dahil sa kahirapan nila noon.
dahil sa sipag at tyaga, nag umpisa sa isang fish cage. ngayon isa na sya sa big time sa bicol in terms of tilapia business.
noon may middleman pa na bumibili sa mga tilapia nya pagka harvest nya. ang mura ng kuha sa kanya.
nung maka ipon, bumili ng sariling truck.
from harvest to market ang ginagawa nya.
kaya ang laki ng kinikita nya ngayon.

Tilapia replaced GG as the poor man's fish. Those people breeding tilapia is hitting it bigtime indeed.

Engaged in this type of biz. Starting pa lang and learning the ropes. Medyo malaki lang initial investment. Kelangan volume para malaki tubo. Hoping magpick-up din kagaya nung isang biz namin ni wifey.
I wouldnt suggest na negosyo ito sa hindi kayang i-risk yun capital. Mabilis ang pera dito pero mabilis din ang lugi. Too many risk factor.. baha, peste, security etc.

Walang pinagkaiba sa broiler birds....pero the tilaipia have been more stable lately (mga 3-5years ng stable).

[badkuk]

just curious, usually ba mga fishponds me oxygenator, filters, etc? Or is it basically just a hole filled with water?

[Phoenix67]

Depende ano aalagaan mo - sugpo needs good dissolved oxygen so kailangan ng way to oxygenate the water. TIlapia has a high tolerance sa low dissolved oxygen vs bangus....so kahit wala na,

Yep, aerators.... depende sa source ng tubig.

pero do most pond operators use some sort of filtration?

i'm currently into fishkeeping kasi, and i've read a lot about pond filtration -- ornamental ponds that is. Just curious if the same technology is being used for commercial ponds, or would be more economical to just change the water every once in a while.

In my case, directly connected sa river. May mga control dams at nets para di makaalis yun hulog at makontrol level ng tubig. Complete drain din yun ponds after harvest para maalis yun mga invasive species like bulig at malinis yun pond. Im still looking for cheap alternatives for filtration. Magastos din sa gas ang magpadrain ng tubig

Welcome to tsikot sir! I have a farm sir but i dont think i could sustain a constant supply. You could try buying from fish consignees if you are looking for consistent supply.

Libre ang fingerlings ng tilapia from Dept of Agriculture. dun ako kumukuha kahit ilan libo pa yan as long as na may stock sila. babayaran mo lang sa kanila is yun plastic na lalagyan which is P50 each can accomodate 500 fingerlings.
within 3-4months pwede na anihin.
