Today, we've obtained some new information about the cultivation.
One of it is from a general manager whom work for a very large scale cultivation company, international scale and supplying worldwide, mainly USA. Their productions are in thousands of tons monthly.
Things to concern:
1) The fish cannot be scare, they have a weak heart. Once it got scared, it will not eat in a few days. This might affect its growth and internal system in the long run.
2) Must do PH level checking daily, and ammonia content, believe this will affect them as well.
3) For small fry and fishes, must be exposed to sunlight, for them to consume more and grow faster. Temparature should be around 26 to 30 celcius.
Beside these, there are additional information from a reliable source saying:
Security is the key to success in this business. Not only we must be aware of burglary, there are predators in the wild as well.
They can come from anywhere, sky, land or water.
There are snakes, birds and most important, the others*. (I'll not release this type at the moment)
There were this guy, invested about half a million, successfully cultivated, but the farm was destroyed by this *others* overnight. They came in a group.
Now instead of enjoying the profit of harvest, this guy have to reinvest another few hundred thousands to build walls and roofs to seal the entire operation. Poor guy, but lucky us. At least we knew what to do and what to expect. We can prepare ourselves for it.
Succeed Example:
For this poor guy, do not worry for him, he is definitely harvest again soon.
According to his information, he only feed the fishes twice a day. But with very nutritious feedings.
He fed them with fish. Yeah, you heard it right, FISH.
Well, nothing to be suprise, fish do eat fish. It's nature.
Come to think of it, fishes are the highest source of protein, so, for them to grow, obviously this will be the best ingredient to feed, next will be other animal's meat or organs.
According to him, feed them only with salt water fishes, thats what they like.
We planned to minced the fishes into powder form, then mixed with other ingredients, so their nutrition can be even and proportionate. And of course, lower the feeding course.
Ordinary operation, feeding is already occupied half of your cost. To success in this one, we must be able to reduce the feeding cost, to expand fast. Failed to do so, will result a very stagnant production and leads to a failed project.
Another issue is, for small fishes, we must have plankton for them to eat, they grow faster. So, now seems there are more works to do. We have to first cultivate some plankton waters.
Next to do:
I'll try to seek for the feeding material sources, also method to cultivate planktons.
Completion:
Dad already found some used material to build fiber tanks. We just have to send a lorry to collect cause it is locate at another state. At first, we thought of wanted to build concrete tanks. Later when we got this sources, because it was used fiber, the cost is rather the same as building concrete tank but it is mobile. It will be easier when next time, if we have to move to another area.
It seems, the project is about to start any time from now on. We almost get everything we need.
Now I just have to pray for things to go smoothly.
