Hi All,

My name is Ekaete and I am very pleased that Mr. Adedeji came up with this
forum, I look into the future and I see us doing greater things, Well done!
First of all the forum is still very new as we go on we will begin to take
shape and be more focused, in as much as I do not think money should be the
central issue, we can offer advise to our friend on different ways to source
for funds we don't have to condemn him outright since we had not (in the
beginning) stated the do's and donts of the forum. If we say money should
not be discussed then let it be stated as a rule. As we go on we will find
ourselves modifying, adding things to the way the forum is managed. Running
away as Abiola Oyewole stated will not help anyone, and I beg you not too.

I also have a few questions myself, I have acquired land and want to start
constructing my ponds but I need to know from experienced farmers what kind
of pond is more efficient in Nigeria? is it the flow through or circulatory.
I am not interested in the earthen ponds.

What size of ponds to construct and the stocking density per size

I have heard that farm raised catfish does not taste as good as the ones in
their natural habitat, is this true? if yes why?

How are ponds aerated here?

What is the best kind of feeds available in the market?

Is anybody an expert in hatchery management?

I have more questions but let me stop here.

Ekaete
