Thousands of Africans venture into agriculture yearly. This movement not only grows the industry, but contributes some efforts to reduce unemployment and promote economic growth. While many farmers focus on various other profitable agricultural businesses, several others focus on aquaculture.
According to wikipedia, “Aquaculture, also known as aquafarming, is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants”. While Aquaculture covers multiple facets, fish farming is the most common in Nigeria, and Africa as a whole.
Fish farming is a profitable business that’s widespread across various parts of Nigeria. The insatiable demand for fishery products like Tilapia, Catfish, and Mackerel (Salmon) in Nigeria has constantly self-promoted the steady growth and expansion of the industry. These factors, coupled with the current support of institutions, the Nigerian government, and several other African countries to promote agriculture and also support fish farmers, makes the industry one of the most lucrative agricultural business segments to venture into.

Benefits Of Fish Farming (Aquaculture)
1). A Explosive Market:
The market potential for an aquaculture business is enormous in Nigeria, Africa, and many other countries in the world. With the population of Nigeria at currently over 170 million, and expect to exceed that of the United States by 2050, the market potential for a fish farming business cannot be understated.
Aside from the fact that fishery products are one of the most sought after and consumed agricultural products in Nigeria, it is also cheaper than meat, making it an affordable meal when the buyer either cannot afford to purchase meat, or simply just wants to have a fish meal.
The explosive market size of this business makes it one of the most important agricultural business opportunities to venture into for any new, existing, or non-interested farmer.
2). Low Operating Cost:
The cost of starting up and running an aquaculture farm is low, compared to many other agricultural business ideas. In direct comparison to poultry farming, fish farming has a lower operational budget because of its cheaper fish feed and running costs.
Also, while poultry products are highly susceptible to dangerous diseases (like Bird Flu) which could cost the farm owner a lot of wasted investments if not handled properly, fish farming products have lesser threatening vices.
3). Government Support:
With the governments around Africa currently embarking on a large campaign to motivate the people on the continent to invest in agriculture with attractive capital incentives, it only makes this moment a perfect time to consider fish farming as one of the lucrative agriculture business ideas to venture into.
4). Great Source Of Protein:
Irrespective of the financial benefits fish farming poses, fishery products been a source of protein, also contributes its health benefits to the general populace. With millions, if not billions of people consuming fishery products everyday, fish farming would constantly stand as a healthy proteinous meal with rich health benefits to everyone.

The Various Types Of Fish Farming
1). Catfish Farming:
This is the most popular aquaculture business in Nigeria, because of the popularity of the breed of fishes grown. Catfishes are the most common fishery products used in African meals at various households, restaurants, events, hotels, and a lot more. Their ease of cultivation and demand makes most aquaculture farmers to focus on growing catfishes instead of other breeds.
2). Tilapia Farming:
This aquaculture business is run with fresh water fishes inhabiting shallow streams, ponds, rivers, and lakes. These Tilapias are the second most popular fishes used in Nigerian meals. They’re of increasing important in aquaculture all over the world. The fact that these fishes grow rapidly and tolerate high stocking densities and poor water quality, makes them a lucrative breed for fish farmers to grow.
3). Salmon (Mackerel) Farming:
Salmons are fresh water fishes that usually migrate to the ocean, and return to fresh waters to reproduce. While they are generally harvested in the wild, they are also grown in fish farms. Salmons account for a high percentage of fishery products consumed in Nigeria. They’re mostly know as “Titus” in Nigeria, and are purchased by millions of households on a daily basis.

6 Things You Need To Know Before Starting A Fish Farm
1). Location Of The Fish Farm:
When selecting the location for your fish farm, you need to consider it’s proximity from the nearest town, the security in the vicinity, the presence or absence of fish prey, and more.
Ensure the environment for growing your fish farm is ideal for your business to thrive.
2). Land Mass:
You need to consider the size of the land you intend to use to grow your fish farming business. Usually, a plot of land or two is great to start out a fish farming business. But where you don’t have the luxury of land space, you can start out in your backyard, and grow from there.
Acquiring the land mass to set up your fish farm should be strategically done. You need to get an affordable property in a not-so rural area, but still close to a major city. This way, you can purchase the lands a lot cheaper than you would have in a city, and also have the luxury of purchasing as many affordable plots of lands as possible.
3). Pond Planning, Size, Design, Construction, And Consideration:
You need to determine the type of pond that you need constructed. For a levee-type pond, a flat area that has access to a well could be used. But for a watershed pond, steeper areas near a natural source of water are to be used.
It’s usually best to contact the services of an aquaculture consultant. They’d get your full requirements, examine your goals, determine what you truly need, and ensure the construction work and general requirements of the fish ponds are properly met.
4). Source Of Water Supply:
The source of water supply to the fish ponds is important to proper development and maturity of your fish farm for commercial use. It’s important to have a proper borehole system built in the vicinity to ensure a reliable source of water supply. This gets even more crucial with the fact that the water would have to be changed on a regular interval, and a lack there in, of proper adequate water supply to ensure the survival of these fishes, would lead to a considerable loss in investments.
You must know that rain water and chemically treated water are totally out of the fish farming process. They’re unsafe for the fishes, and cannot be recommended for standard use.
Get a steady flow of fresh water, so your pond can thrive.
5). Storage System:
How the fishes feed and other items are stored, has to be considered and set up right from the onset. Ensure the feeds are stored in a cool and dry place. Also ensure they’re not exposed to little farm animals that could make holes in the bags and feed on them.
6). A Good Knowledge Of Running The Farm:
This is probably the most important thing to know. You must have a sound knowledge of how to run an aquaculture business. Attend a lecture or a seminar on aquaculture, so you can learn a lot more about the rudiments of fish farming. Equipped with this knowledge, you’d gain valuable information about fish farming, and every it takes to turn out successful.

Sample Business Plan/Feasibility Study On How To Start A Catfish Farming Business
Step 1:
With $500 to $750 (100,000 to 150,000 Naira), you can setup a 10ft X 10ft earth fish pond with a mild depth of about 4ft to 6ft. This constructed dimension would be able to hold about 1,000 grown fishes. You can also construct a concrete pond, use a plastic tank, or a drum pond.
Step 2:
Before you start stocking your fishes, you need to disinfect your pond with an anti-fungi and an anti-bacteria. You should also balance your fish pond’s organic and ion concentration by fertilization with banana leaves or poultry dungs.
Step 3:
You need to purchase fingerlings and juveniles for your fish pond. Fingerlings usually don’t cost above 20 Naira per each, and Juveniles usually don’t cost above 40 Naira per each. An economic recession and other vices can fluctuate the prices of these fingerlings.
Step 4:
Your have to feed your fishes once or twice a day. Feeding carries the bulk of the operating cost. Catfishes in hatcheries are to be fed meals that are properly ground, or feeds that that are flour-like, and contain 45 to 50 percent of protein. Small floating pellets ( about 1/8 inch diameter) containing about 35 percent of protein should be fed to larger fingerlings. Floating feed of approximately 5/32 – 3/16 inch in diameter containing about 28 to 32 percent of protein should be fed to advanced fingerlings (which are about 5 to 6 inches long). Proper feeding intervals can get the fishes to weigh as much as 1.5kg after five months of adequate care.
Feeding the catfishes is generally about 60% of your entire farm costs. Most of these catfish feeds are imported into Nigeria and cost an average of 5,500 Naira per bag 15kg bag. The way the meals are fed to catfishes have to be carefully executed because 700 two months old fishes can finish a 15kg feed bag in just 10 days! This high cost of catfish feed can greatly affect your profitability.
Another alternative is to source locally made fish feeds. These usually cost about 3,500 Naira per 15kg bag. With fewer individuals producing locally made catfish feed, finding and gaining access to these can pose a big challenge.
You have to feed your fishes in such a way that they you don’t pollute the water. This can be achieved by practising spot fishing. You shouldn’t also change the water immediately after feeding, to avoid the fishes vomiting their meals. And you should constantly apply supplements like Livestovit and Aquapro to protect your fishes from diseases.
Step 5:
As your fishes grow, you need to constantly sort them to avoid larger fishes feeding on the smaller ones. This is best done by putting fishes of the same size inside a pond together to reduce their cannibalistic instincts. This doesn’t just ensure a bulk survival, but also ensures adequate growth and development because, they can equally compete for food, water, and space.
Step 6:
Change the pond’s water on a regular basis to improve the fishes longevity, and reduce the chances of diseases springing up on your fish farm. Clean water should be used to replace the existing water every 2 to 3 days. Without proper water management, most of your fishes wouldn’t alive to maturity.
Step 7:
With the cost of catfishes at about 500 Naira per kilogram in Lagos, 650 Naira per kilogram in Makurdi, and 750 Naira per kilogram in Abuja, Nigeria, you need to do a really good market feasibility study to understand the type of buyers that’d most likely patronise your own fish farm. Ideally, this should be the very first thing you do before even starting a fish farm, but assuming you’ve already done this, contact potentially identified buyers, and offer to sell your fishes to them on more favourable terms. Make sure your buyers are aware of your fishery products about 2 months before they’re fully grown, to increase your chances of selling out most of your merchandise quickly.
The ultimate goal of every fish farmer is to grow their fishes to achieve a body weight of 1kg within the shortest possible time. If this is managed and done right, the fishes can achieve this size in four to six months.

The Risks And Challenges Of Fish Farming
1). Poor Farm Site:
A poor fish farm location can impact negatively on the farm’s full potential for growth. Due to it’s difficult inaccessibility to a city area, sales may slow down drastically for the farm owner.
2). Poor Pond Planning And Design:
A poorly planned fish farm can lead to leakages, disorganisation, and several other factors that eventually pile up unwanted expenses.
3). Poor Market Survey:
Without doing a proper feasibility study of the fish farming business by estimating the size of your potential market, cost of farm products, and a lot more, you could be headed for failure, or a major loss from the onset.

Thank you for asking.
Great work there. Please how thus the issue of climate change affect aquaculture fish business in Nigeria and what is the possible solution especially to avoid losses. Thank you
Hi Opeyemi,
An increase in the water temperature for instance, can affect the fishes physiological process. This generally will affect the lifespan of the juveniles, their spawning rate, reproduction rate, yield, and general population size.
These are just a few effects that negative climatic conditions can have on the fishes.
Growing them in a more controlled environment can help them have a higher chance of survival and increased population.
Thank you for asking.
I really do not know much about fish farming but i want to know. What are juvenile and fingerlings.
Hi Benjamin,
Fingerlings are fishes that are between 1 week to 3 weeks old and are about the size of a finger. While Juveniles are fishes that are between 4 weeks to 6 weeks old, which is the last stage of their growth before they become fully grown fishes.
I hope this answers your question.

Thank you for asking.
Thank you for your great work. I’ve been practicing fish farming for a year now. I sort them properly to my best but the challenges I am facing is on how to make all of them weight at least 1kg within 4 to 5 months interval. Secondly, how do you manage their feeding routine so that you don’t spend much. Please share with me any profitable tips that can be of help, thank you. WhatsApp no. 08032636002.
Hi Bassil,
We’d be holding a fish farming workshop sometime this year. I think you’ll gain a lot from it.
Concerning spending less, I’d advise you get a pelletizing machine, so you can make your own fish food.
This brings the cost down and helps you monitor the feeding routine a lot less.
Thank you for asking.

Hi King,

Thank you for asking.
please i want to start fish farming business. can i construct the pond beside river?
Hi Adeolu,
It’s unwise to construct a pond beside a river.
The reason is during the rainy season, the water level of the river will rise, and if your pond edges are not high enough, you’d wake one morning to realise all your fishes have been swept away into the river current.
If you must construct the pond beside the river, you’d need to spend a great deal of money to ensure it is well protected from the rising water levels.
Thank you for asking.
great write up, thumb up for.

where i go. your blog is full of useful info. Impressive share! i have just forwarded this onto a friend who had also been conducting a little research on this. And he in fact ordered me
dinner simply because I discovered it for him… lol. Thanks veryyy much
for sharing this price worthy post.
From the blogger at http://www.comofficialwebsite.com
Thank you for the recommendation.
A very useful information keep it up God bless you.
Thank you for the kind words, Sarah.
God bless you too.
In 2014 when I had a fishpond (just 1000 catfish): my observation was that my friend we started the rearing same week had his fishes bigger than mine after 3month of rearing which till this day left me wondering why are catfish reared in earthen-pond healthier than catfish reared in concrete-pond?
Of all your narrative you never mention the “God-factor” which means that before you start a fish farm, irrespective of how many profs you have consulted, irrespective of how many books and PDF you have read;(1) you need 3-day fasting and prayer (2) you need need to pay tithe from your capital before starting. He that has hear should hear what the spirit is saying.
I successfully raised the 1000 juveniles without opening a book or paying for consultant. The only medical expenses I incurred for the whole 5months of rearing was #100 worth sachets of tetracycline and a 2litre keg of formaldehyde which cost #700 as at then. Every eyes that saw the harvest was shouting this is miracle because 1000 juveniles ended up becoming 1300+ matured catfish (some funny people even concluded that fishes fell from heaven to join their colleagues in the pond).
Another notion I feel I should correct is that you said #150,000 will rear 1000catfish but I disagree. As 2014 when one juvenile is #30 then 1000= #30,000. You have not calculated feed (1st month 1bag = #4000 2nd month 3bags = #12k, 3rd month (trying to ration) you will buy at least 5bags = #20k and the fourth month and fifth month expenses are still there. To construct a pond for such size will cost more than #250k but to lease for a year is not less than #30k. You haven’t bought net, limestone, pipes, scale, ropes, etc.
I wish I could go on but let me stop here.
My advice is that #150k should only eye 200 juveniles if such person wants to have an enjoyable rearing and sweet testimony.
Please, I just feel I should share my little experience meaning I’m not claiming I know better than anybody so let no one crucify me. Cheers
Thank you for the contribution, Samuel.
thanks for the write up. Really educative and informative. I want to start fish farm business with just 300,000 naira and i’m considering starting with 1000 juvenile. How is that feasible sir considering the recent cost of things in the market. Please advise. adeolu ogundipe 07013800211 whatsapp
