Fish Farming
Fish Farming
(Valam Organic Farm - Veliyanallur, Cheyyar)
Welcome to the blog...
Area for the fish pond identified and started the work with the help of JCB and Tractors to construct in 30 Cents.
We dig and checked the depth of clay soil available.
Identified the land, where ponds needs to be constructed
CLEANING THE IDENTIFIED LAND
Started the cleaning process with the help of JCB
POND CONSTRUCTION
Marked the area of the pond to be constructed.
PIPE LINE & WATER MANAGEMENT
Fixed the pipe line and filled the water for half feet and increased the level day by day till 4 to 5 feet.
FERTILE THE POND
Natural manuring (GOAT & COW) applied for the formation of algae, So that the zooplankton(heterotrophic plankton that range from microscopic organisms to large species) and phytoplankton (microscopic marine algae). which is good for food chain.

Increased the organic manure till the pond become Dark green in color
We used Secchi disk to measure the water transparency.
The acceptable PH range for fish culture is normally between pH 6.5-9.0. We check the PH regularly and maintained the PH level above 6.5.
NURSERY POND
We will keep the fingerlings in the nursery pond for 1-2 month and will leave it in the main pond.
PROCUREMENT
Purchased Fish seed from the vendor ( Grass carp-600 nos, Common Carp-600 nos, Silver Carp-600 nos ).
Fixed tray to keep the Fish feed. Feed has been provided in the morning and in the evening.
Simultaneously constructed the Asola and greens leaves, which is a good feed for fish.
Apart from Asola and greens leaves. We used ground nut oil cake, rice bran, Rice and fish feed.
Green leaves before feeding
Green leaves after feeding
FISH CARE & MANAGEMENT
Regular checking the size of the fish and feeding accordingly
Below is the silver carp

PREDATORS
Main predators are snakes and fish feeding birds.
To protect from birds, use wire across the pond. So that birds will not enter the pond
HARVEST AND MARKETING
Harvest after six month
BENEFITS
Fish pond water is used to irrigate paddy crop. Which is a good natural manure for the paddy.
Ducks feed on predators and help the fingerlings to grow. Ducks serve as bio aerators as they swim, play and chase in the pond. When ducks swim in water, the oxygen level automatically increases in the water body, Fish in the water will get more oxygen. They also benefit from the bird droppings.
We planted fruit bearing tress and timber trees on the banks of the pond like Moringa, papaya, Small amla, Guava, pomegranate, Coconut, Sapota, Teak, All varieties of custard apple, Agathi, Gongura and many more....
RESEARCH
For research we also purchased 100 nos Roop Chand and 100 tilapia varieties.
Below is the Tilapia Variety
Below is the Roopchand
Superb..Amazing collection of step by step photos.
ReplyDeleteSuperb boss. U r cultivating ??

Just now I visited your blog on agricultural activities.
ReplyDeleteThis fish farm is another great effort from your side. Yes, integrated farming is a must for sustainability. I am sure you are going to be the pioneer in this area for conversion of waste lands to productive farm land, strengthening the concept of integrated farming and combining all scientific and organic farming practices successfully.
All the best.

Nice, Sir, you mentiond use of wire to protect from birds, how it works?
ReplyDeleteGreat blog! I found the details about RPE pond liners very informative. These liners are highly durable, UV-resistant, and offer excellent puncture resistance, making them perfect for various pond projects. The RPE pond liner price is quite reasonable given its long-lasting performance. Thanks for sharing such valuable information!
ReplyDeleteExcellent post! It’s great to see more attention being given to RPE (Reinforced Polyethylene) pond liners and their role in ensuring long-lasting, leak-proof solutions for water containment. The durability and strength of RPE liners are a game-changer for both agricultural and ornamental pond applications. It’s impressive to learn about the manufacturers leading the way in producing high-quality RPE liners that can withstand harsh weather conditions and UV exposure.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about the advancements in RPE technology—are there any innovations in terms of eco-friendliness or recycling? Sustainability in pond liner materials is becoming increasingly important, and I’d love to hear more about how RPE pond liner manufacturers are addressing this issue. Thanks for sharing such an informative post!
