Annually fish stocking is released into the farming pond from 35,000-37,000 units, after 6-7 months of raising, the fish ready for harvest, in size of 0.5-0.6 kilo per fish, and is sold for 110,000 120,000 dong per fish; except the cost - interests remains 300 million dong each year.
There are 2 forms of pomfret farming: breeding cage or breeding in land ponds with the water source leads directly from the sea. The appropriate deep water is about 5-6 meters, temperature from 28-30 0 C.
To help the fish grow well, raisers should feed small fishes 3 times per day, and 2 times for big fishes. The cage should be clean every 7-10 days. And remember not to use junk fishes for feeding because it can lead to contaminated water resource. |
