Tilapia are sometimes known as “aquatic chicken”, due to their high growth rates, adaptability to a wide range of environmental conditions, ability to grow and reproduce in captivity and feed on low trophic levels. As a result, these fishes have become excellent candidates for aquaculture, especially in tropical and subtropical regions. Indeed, tilapia culture has been expanding rapidly, and is now practiced in more than one hundred countries worldwide.

    hi me and my son is planning to put up or start a backyard home base tilapia raising for personal consumption and for selling some too. what is the ideal minimun capital to start with?

    • Rick says:

      I already have made one, de-chlorination process takes 24hours. Laborious works happen during set up, once the system is done (re-circulation) the maintenance is only minimal

      I have one already in my backyard in Cavite, the cost for a complete set up depends on the scale of your fishtank..and the materials you are going to use.

      I wanted to help but I’m abroad,I suggest..if you’re able pls. attend seminar “The Business Club” by Ka Gerry Geronimo, you can easily find their contact number and schedule by browsing thru internet.
      Sorry I dont have contact number here.

      Hope you find it

      thanks,
      Rick

    how can i raised tilapia in our backyard… If were just using water from fucet… and were going to have our improvised (cement) fishpond.. Can this be fine.. and what is the effect on the tilapia

    Thanks

    • Leo says:

      @Raquel, is the water from nawasa? if yes, you have to de-chlorinate it first. tilapia raising in tank without natural source of water is a laborious process especially for commercial production. but for personal consumption or hobby, i thinks it’s ok.

    • Akinto says:

      As a contractor, it is economical and profitable in tilapia tank culture. In earth pond the production is just 25kg per cu. m, compare to tank culture which is 150kg – 200kg per cu. m. I already have summarize data and system for tilapia tank culture.

      I have a project design for tilapia tank culture. The 24 culture tank, each measuring 7m width by 20m lenght by 2.7m depth. Each culture tank can hold 50000 fingerlings plus 10% mortality (5000). Two culture tank will be harvest every month totalling to 50 tonnes plus of tilapia. The tilapia is cultured from 6 to 8 months weighting 555grams to 1300grams respectively.

      I have 8 (58 cu. m) ponds for breeders section, 1600 cells for breeding section, nursery 1, 2, 3, and 4 capable of producing 144000 plus fingerlings every week. Also the culture tank and the cohorts section.

      I have 4 generators tandem as 2 side by side, solar collectors and systematic pump and powerful aerators producing a 0.5 diameter column of oxygen bubbles.

      If you have any question try to contact me to this email maritauplb@yahoo.com. hoping to hear from you soon.

      • Jose Mari says:

        @Akinto:I am assuring everyone that this is a hoax. No tilapia will grow to 555g in 6 months and 1,300g in 8 months even at a supersaturated oxygen level.
