Good day guys
Today I will be having a discussion about The Types of Fish Ponds and their uses.
As a Fish farmer you should know that the maintenance of your fish really matters and that should be more of a reason why you have to give your fishes proper attention.
A fish that is well stocked will surely yield good results at the end of the production. But when your fish is not stocked appropriately then there is always a chance of taking the risks that might cause casualties like high mortality and also diseases outbreak.
So you should know the type of pond and capacity of the pond, this will go a long way in aiding the growth and development of the fish.
There are different type of ponds and this also depends on your choice of pond too.
Each type have their individual specifications.
PLASTIC PONDS: Plastic ponds are ponds that are designed with Plastic tanks, they are mobile and easy to maintain. These type of ponds are used to stock little amount of fishes.
TARPAULIN PONDS: These type of ponds are made of tarpaulins and they are also easy to maintain than concrete ponds. It can be constructed with a wooden frame or iron frame.
CONCRETE PONDS: These ponds are commonly used but they are not easily maintained. They can store large quantities of fishes but most time are permanently constructed. Concrete ponds are made of concrete, blocks or bricks.
EARTHEN POND: This type of pond is not so common but they are most times the best to read fish. And this is because it gives fishes a conducive environment and habitat. They are mostly constructed closed to riverbanks.
These are the types of ponds we have and it’s a choice to make for you as a fish farmer whichever you prefer for your fish.
