This document contains a survey collecting information from fish farmers in Akure South LGA, Ondo State, Nigeria. It gathers details about the farmers' demographics, production methods, costs and revenues over several years for both earthen and concrete fish ponds. Specifically, it collects data on the farmers' gender, education level, pond ownership, financing sources, production cycles, fingerling sources, feeding practices, fixed asset costs, variable costs, fish harvest quantities and sales prices. The goal is to conduct a comparative cost-benefit analysis of catfish production using the different pond systems.
