A VISIT TO AN ORGANIC FISH FARM
Organic fish farming type is fish farming that is devoid of the use and application of steroid, chemical fertilizers and growth boosters.
The fish Farm is a pond made of thick fibre-like polythene called tarpulene supported with galvanized steel pipes and has plumbing provisions for inlet and outlet of water.
This artificial pond has the Capacity of housing 1000 cat fishes.
The water is changed every fourty Eight (48) thereby making the environment safe and pollution free.
The fishes are fed with organic based pellated feed of different granular sizes based on their age till the maturity stage of 120 months.

So this is pretty interesting! I have a question. Is the depth of the water in your pictures how they are kept constantly, where the catfish are not completely submerged in water? Or was your visit just during a time they were changing the water, so the water level was low during your visit?
It looks like water lines along the side of the tank, so I am guessing that all of these images are from water changes.
So you say they raise them until 120 months, or 10 years? That's a pretty long time investment in raising each fish to maturity.
the Dept of water seen in the picture was as a result of the changing of the pond water. there is a rate level of water regulated by a flow meter, usually above slightly a meter
120 days not 120 months. that was typing error.
I'm glad I read that comment! The water looked so low, I was fearful for the fish! :) Well, not fearful. I was pretty sure you wouldn't be posting a picture that showed negligence.
It is a great idea to provide organic fish to the populace who don't live on the water. I have seen them kept in specially built swimming pools but never this kind of construction. I am sure it saves lots of money and is probably portable. While in general, I don't like the idea of fish farms because the industry is plagued with the problems of pollution, disease, and inferior nutritional quality, I would like to believe that there are quality places out there that are beneficial. Keep up the good work! I cannot even begin to tell you how much I appreciate the love and support you are giving to #MarketFriday!
