    ask ko lng po kung pwede iculture ng sabay freshwater shrimp ang milkfish s iisang fishpond?kung hindi man po pwede anu mga alternative?

    • norman says:

      Pwedeng mag culture ng freshwater shrimp at milkfish sa isang pond provided na acclimatize mo ang milkfish sa freshwater. Sa brackiswater kasi karaniwan kino culture ang milkfish. Pwede rin tilapia at freshwater shrimp.

    Good morning to all:

    I’m a starting milkfish farmer here in the philippines,Iloilo city. I was hoping that you could give me some advice and answer a couple of my questions.
    So id like to give you an overview of the land:
    my pond consists of a 1ha rearing pond, .5ha nursery pond and another 2.5ha(undivided). This pond has been operational for more than 20 years until a few years(3-4yrs) back in which operation has been stopped. But recently this has been passed on to me and this year(august) i was able to harvest 200kg of milkfish in the 1ha from a stocking density of 2000pcs/ha, which is very low considering from all the reports and researches i have read. My sole feeding method was growing Lumot(the filamentous type). I was not able to use lab-lab or artificial feeding methods due to financial constraints. Currently i have finished pond preparation in the 1ha and growing Lumot as the sole food supply. I am considering stocking 5000pcs milkfish about 30-40g/pc. And estimate a harvest period after 3 months with the last month considering giving artificial feeds in the same hectare.

    Here are just a couple of my questions:
    1. Considering what i have in mind, in your experience, is it possible to harvest at least 1ton/ha with my method?
    2. Is there a cheaper and, not necessarily the best, alternative to artificial feeds other than lablab?
    3. Would it be cost effective if i placed 1 paddle wheel in 1ha at the current stocking rate or is there no need?
    4. Is it possible to grow lablab and lumot at the same time?

    These are just a few questions i have in mind, and i am just starting to learn the ropes and i hope to bring my fishery to a very efficient state of production of milkfish, and even later on considering bringing in more modern methods of production. Any advice, comment or opinion from anyone would be very much welcome and id be very very thankful

    Hi. My friends and I just recently got into the prawn, mudfish and milkfish venture and are just starting w/ a small pond. I just read in the feature that it is not advisable to mix prawns and mudcrabs in the same brackishwater pond as the prawns tend to be eaten by the mudcrabs. The problem is, we have all prawns, mudcrabs and milkfish growing in the same pond. That is how they do it there and, of course, that is what we’re doing now. Do you really think it’ll be a problem? Anything we can do to prevent it ? We’re on our 2nd month now and have already released all three kingdoms from their nurseries.
