Il est toujours préférable d'investir dans un voyage pour visiter les fermes qui ont réussi et apprendre des erreurs des autres. i Les systèmes intensifs en eaux recyclés nécessitent une gestion qualifiée 24 heures par jour, et ce n'est pas pour les nouveaux arrivants dans le secteur. Quelques-uns des meilleurs pisciculteurs du Nigeria ont voyagé en Europe pour visiter des fermes de poissons aux Pays-Bas et les Royaume-Uni. Maintenant, il y a un certain nombre de fermes piscicoles qui ont réussi à visiter en Afrique, au Nigeria, au Ghana, en Ouganda, au Kenya, en Zambie, etc Vous pourriez envisager de visiter certains de ces pisciculteurs et réorienter vos efforts sur la base des leçons apprises

Everyone,

A number of criteria and conditions are required for developing fish farming and many have been tried in Africa. From the years of experience and many lessons learnt, the old saying holds true, "Keep it simple", especially while learning the business.

I have been to Namibia with FAO for fish farming and know you have potential there.

But for new comers to this business, it is best to start small with systems of low intensity and low investment, such as rearing fish in ponds, cages or tanks, as done in Nigeria.

It is always best to invest in some travel to visit successful fish farms and learn from the mistakes of others. Intensive recirculating systems require highly trained management 24 hours a day, and are not for new comers to the industry. A few of the best best fish farmers in Nigeria travelled to Europe to visit fish farms in Holland and the UK. Now there are a number of successful fish farms to visit in Africa in Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Zambia, etc. You might consider visiting some of these farmers and redirecting your efforts based on their lessons learnt.

Good luck with your endeavour.

Hallo Nick,

I concur with your sentiments on the response to Stephanus.

Some times we have made aquaculture interventions complicated and expensive through well engineered designs that can not bring out any profitability. Its of good practice that the consultants show what they have done and is working before being give intensive and highly demanding aquaculture assignments like those which may end up useless in the long run.

However sometimes investors and farmers get corned in the process of identifying the right people to work with! So how this could be addressed is an issue and possibly why SARNISSA is in existence.

Dear Stephanus

I am intrigued to know the aquaculture credentials of the "South African Engineering company" that did the design of your project. Did they show you a working model of their design that was fully operational? If they did not, were they able to give you referral to an overseas or inter-African example of where their design parameters were working?

I ask because SA is getting a reputation for high-tech system designs that simply do not lead to profitably operational fish farms.

A 500 tonne/pa. tilapia farm is considerable in terms of production and infrastructure requirements...BUT it is the way that it is done that will make the difference between yet another white elephant...and a viable aquaculture unit. We are getting a little tired of these "engineer-designed" set-ups designed by people who have never kept a fish alive in their lives, as they are giving RAS aquaculture in Africa a bad name.

regards

Nick

Dear William,

Allow me to take this opportunity to introduce my selves. I am Benedictus Stephanus from Namibia. We are battling to get an Fresh water Fish farm off the ground at the Naute Dam for the last 4years. Of the challenges we have are more of technical support base. Thus we are in need of a technical partner which could take care of the technical

requirements of the project.

...

We look forward towards the valuable support from the forum at large. Kindly,

Benedictus Stephanus Executive Chairman Naute Aqua Fish Farms cc Mobil: +265 856 095 352 Email:bstephanus@iway.na
