This document discusses the requirements for a successful fish culture, including having a good site with adequate water supply, quality seedlings, appropriate water quality, feeds, and an intelligent farmer. A good site needs a stable water source, soil that retains water, and topography allowing gravity draining. Water supply is most important as fish need water to breathe, eat, grow, and reproduce. Feeds must meet the nutrients needs of the cultured fish species. The farmer must work hard to prepare the pond, manage feeding and water quality, sample the pond, and ultimately harvest the fish.

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
