Thanks... Yea I guess I better check with the guvment on regs but im a licensed meat handler for the state so wonder if that's good enough. CMF What would you say your input cost is in the fish? I know you have to have electric and a climate controlled space if you have harsh temps on some fish.
We pay .10 cents for fry and .80 cents for fingerlings 4 to 6 ".
Fish food is about
40 cents a pound and I think you could expect reasonably to grow 1 pound of fish for 3 pounds of feed.
Trout idk. But catfish or bream should be fine in any weather you get.
The only climate control we do is areation during summer.And its really simple
Of course you can't put little fish in with big fish. We us 4x4 baskets made out of welded cattle panels and wrapped with window screen to raise fry to fingerling size. Then they go to a small pond until about 14".
Don't let me mislead you. I don't have a fish farm. I've got some ponds and enjoy messing with em. When it looks like we are getting to many big fish. I'll hang a sign at the feed store and sell some live fish.
I'll post pics of my aerator and brood baskets. Wta
