Summary

This video provides a comprehensive guide to cultivating catfish in earthen ponds, from pond construction to harvesting. It covers essential steps such as preparing the pond with appropriate depth and water management, stocking with superior-quality catfish seeds, acclimatizing them, and maintaining proper feeding schedules. Key aspects of pond cleanliness, pest control, and disease prevention are discussed to ensure healthy fish growth. Additionally, sorting the catfish by size and managing the water environment are emphasized for optimal growth. Finally, it outlines the process for harvesting mature catfish after approximately five months, ensuring a successful and sustainable farming process.

Takeaways

• 😀 Catfish is a popular fish known for its savory taste and soft texture, making it a preferred choice for many people.
• 😀 Catfish cultivation is profitable, especially when done in earthen ponds, which are widely used for this purpose.
• 😀 When building an earthen pond, ensure it has the right size and depth (e.g., 5x10 meters with 2-3 meters depth).
• 😀 A water drainage hole should be placed in one corner of the pond to facilitate easy draining later.
• 😀 After constructing the pond, leave it to dry, then fill it with water and add manure to promote organic growth.
• 😀 Allow the pond to sit for a week to let the water stabilize. If the smell persists, leave it longer until the water is odor-free.
• 😀 Fill the pond with 50-100 cm of water to make it easier for the catfish to breathe oxygen.
• 😀 Let the pond water turn greenish over two weeks, as this indicates the presence of natural food beneficial for the catfish.
• 😀 When stocking the pond, always use high-quality catfish seeds, either from your own breeding or trusted breeders.
• 😀 Feed the catfish three times a day with a balanced diet, ensuring at least 25% protein, 25% carbohydrates, and 35% fat in the feed.
• 😀 Regularly maintain pond cleanliness, manage water changes, and control pests and diseases to ensure healthy fish growth.
• 😀 Sort the catfish when they are about 40 days old to ensure uniform growth, especially if the seeds aren’t already uniform.
• 😀 Supplement the catfish diet with alternative feeds and vitamins to improve health and support faster reproduction.
• 😀 Harvest catfish after about five months by lowering the water level and using a net to carefully capture the fish to minimize stress.

Q & A

What makes catfish a popular choice for many people?

Catfish is favored for its savory taste and soft meat texture, which makes it a popular choice for many people.

Why does catfish have a relatively high price compared to other fish like tilapia?

Catfish has a high price due to its popularity and the demand for processed dishes made from it, which increases its market value.

What is the importance of preparing the pond properly before stocking catfish?

Proper pond preparation is crucial to ensure the pond is suitable for catfish cultivation, including appropriate depth, water drainage, and a stable environment for the fish.

What is the ideal size and depth for an earthen pond used to cultivate catfish?

An ideal earthen pond should be around 5x10 meters in size with a depth of 2 to 3 meters, though smaller ponds can be made depending on land availability.

How should the pond water be treated before stocking catfish?

The pond should be filled with water, followed by adding manure to promote organic elements. The pond should then be left for a week or more to ensure the water is free from strong odors and is at a normal temperature.

Why is it important to wait until the pond water is greenish before stocking catfish?

Greenish water indicates a rich presence of natural food in the pond, which benefits the catfish by providing a natural food source.

What should be considered when selecting catfish seeds for cultivation?

It's important to choose superior catfish seeds, which are usually available from breeders. These seeds are typically produced from high-quality broodstock and are more likely to adapt well to the pond environment.

What is the acclimatization process for catfish seeds before transferring them to the pond?

Acclimatization involves placing the seed container into the pond or adding some pond water to the container for a few hours to allow the catfish to get used to the new water conditions before transferring them to the pond.

What is the recommended feeding routine for catfish?

Catfish should be fed three times a day, at 6:00 AM, 10:00 AM, and 8:00 PM. The feed should contain 25% protein, 25% carbohydrates, and 35% fat, with 30% fed in the morning and afternoon and 40% at night.

What maintenance practices are necessary for a successful catfish cultivation?

Routine practices include maintaining water cleanliness, controlling pond sanitation, changing water occasionally, and providing adequate feed. Preventing diseases and pests is also critical for healthy catfish.

How can the growth of catfish be managed to ensure uniform size during cultivation?

Catfish should be sorted based on body size, typically after 40 days, to ensure uniform growth. This is especially important if the seeds are from different sources, as it helps optimize space and resources.

What is the process for harvesting catfish?

Harvesting is done after about five months. Water is drained from the pond, leaving a third of the volume, and a net is used to catch the fish that have reached the recommended consumption size. Care should be taken to avoid stress and fish death during this process.
