Fish is a very healthy and nutritious protein which is popular around the world. Industrial fish farming, or aquaculture, provides almost half the seafood around the world and this is expected to increase.
Fish is a delicious and nutritious protein source that is also rich in nutrients like omega-3 Fatty acids that improves our heart health and lowers our blood cholesterol level. Farmed fish has been playing an important role in meeting global protein demands.
Rising fish at home could open up many profitable opportunities today. Home raised fish could easily be sold for profit around the neighborhood or restaurants. There are people who want locally raised fish from organic farms. It could also supply you and your family with delicious fresh seafood. So, why not start your own home based fish farm?
How to start home based fish farming business
First thing you will need to start a home based fish farming business is some basic knowledge about raising fish. You will also need to learn about the business side of farming. To raise fish you will need some space in your backyard for digging a fish pond or space in your basement or anywhere else if you want to raise fish in containers. Fish can be raised in any kind of fish tanks, containers, and tubs. You could even raise fish in barrels.
You will need some basic knowledge about fish, so I would suggest that you get as much knowledge as you possibly can about fish farming. Below is a list of links that you may want to visit and learn about aquaculture. There is also a webinar video posted below, where you can learn about aquaculture.
Whether you decide to start a backyard fish farm or indoor container based aquaculture, the more knowledge you have the better chances you will have to succeed in your home based fish farming business.
What equipment do I need?
To start a simple home based fish farm you will need to dig a fishpond or gather some fish tanks or containers for indoor fish farming. Choose water from a reliable source. Your municipal supply water would be fine. Once you have your pond or container setup, get your juvenile fish and some fish feed to start.
For large scale pond based fish farms, you would need some additional equipment. A list of equipment is given below.
You will need the following for a commercial fish farm:
- Aquarium or fish tank
- Pumps
- Aeration Devices
- Net or Seine Reels
- Handling and Grading Equipment
- Water testing equipment
What should you consider before starting a fish farm?
It’s possible that after you have raised fish at home, you find aquaculture a profitable business for you and decide to buy more property and start to expand your farming program. You will need starting capital, commercial equipment, and more people to start a large scale farm.
There are many ways you could gather the necessary funding and help from others to get started. Make a business plan and prepare a feasibility report that calculates all your expenses and profits. This would help you to get bank loans and also to attract partners or investors.
If you are really enthusiastic about fish farming, you should try to get as much help as possible. Try to get a partner or work with another fish farm to gather experience at first. So, before you enter the aquaculture industry and start your own fish farming business, consider all possible factors and decide if fish farming is the best business for you.
I hope this article was helpful for you, in guiding you to the world of aquaculture business. Try to gather as much knowledge and resources as possible and get started with your own home based fish farming business.

I live in a tropical island in the island country of Federated States of Micronesia. My island is surrounded by mangroves and I was wandering if I could build a salt fish bond in the mangrove so salt water can be easily control into the bond either by the tide or pump. My other question is since I will be the first person to start this aqua farming I do not know where to get my baby fish to start with since there is no hatchery back here. Should I try to catch my baby fish directly from the ocean or what is your advise?

Hi Kimberly,I want to compliment you on how you presented this information about a cotmelpenmary medicine aid. I’m a longtime medical writer and know it’s important to write about any health care topic in a balanced, responsible way. There are extreme views about antibiotic use – yours is reasoned one. I would for sure steer someone away from using alternative medicine to treat strep – the problem is that treated incompletely, it can morph into rheumatic fever, which is very serious.[]

The weather in winter is so cold and summer is hot. I would like your views mostly the kind of fish that can favour to this place because I saw some fish dyeing in the lake when I asked the fishermen I was told that it because of the weather. This happens mostly in cold time.

My friend and I are looking to get into domestic fish farming and we wanted to know if it possible to convert our small swimming pool(it takes 20 000litres) into a fish pond?
We would like to know what we would require to to make it conducive for fish and approximately how much fish can it carry.
We are relatively inexperienced but we are looking to learn to make this project work for us.
We are based in Cape Town but we are looking to set up the project in Beaufort West.
Hoping you will be able to assist.

Sir, I am staying in Kerala. I would like to start a fish farm in minimum capacity. Initial stage I prefer to start om my house terace. Would you please guide me and me approximate expense for that.
Can you give any ball park figures on what kind of revenue one could generate doing this? For example, if one were to start with an above ground pool growing salmon what kind of numbers are possible?
A look at the numbers explains why. Insiders say that, depending upon a farmer’s efficiency, it costs about $4.50 to produce a kilogram of Atlantic salmon in a ocean cage. The same kilogram nets them around $6.70 from a New York City broker.
Putting things into context is a 2010 Fisheries and Oceans Canada study into using closed-containment systems in British Columbia. It put farmers’ return on investment at 54 per cent for sea pens. Closed-containment systems, on the other hand, gave owners a return on investment of just two per cent.
I need to to be trained on to raise fish right in my backyard.
thank u so much. u see I have interest in fish but my problem is how to start and some one to guide me. email me on how to start and other things to do to make sure i succeed. even if u invite me for further trainings that serves best.

Hello, I’ve always been interested about this idea since I was in the University, its been 20 years after that and now I’m seriously thinking about this, however I moved from a Caribbean weather to north Europea one (Poland), my question is how likely is to do this here with this kind of weather, what kind of fish ? is it seasonal or can it be all year around with temperature bellow 0 C ? do you think is a profitable idea here ?
Looking forward to hear from you soon

CommentHello, My name is Lennon and i’m from Zimbabwe a Savanna climate in Southern African and i was hoping i could engage in Aquaculture and if you could advice me on the types of species that suit the climate. Thank you.
Please send me on my email……it’s very helpful full but still I am confused……
Please help me……
No need to buy any water testing equipment. I’ll do it for you now…
Your water will be highly toxic and your fish will die.
Why?
1 Because your municipal water isn’t “fine”. It needs to be dechlorinated or the chlorine will burn the fishes gills as well as destroying the nitrifying bacteria in your filter.
2 Oh…wait…no it won’t because you don’t have a filter because its not on the list of things you’ll need.
Useless article. Probably written as some kind of useless SEO loop.

Good day,
Please help us to find a fish farming partner company.
We own a 1000 hectare farm with height above sea level between 1200 to 2100 metres, in Ecuador South America. The farm is in the Andes mountain range on the equator with massive amount of clean water in 7 streams coming out of the Cerro Negro mountain range on the farm. The Tropical Highland Forest of the Cerro Negro Mountains is part of a big tropical forest conservation area. This secures the water of the 7 water streams that come out of the mountain on the farm. The farm has the big Alambi river as a natural border on the one side with +5 km of beach area suitable for all sorts of freshwater fish, shrimp, crayfish etc. farming. The water temperature stays 18-19 degree Celsius all year round making it ideal for trout farming. Fish need 6 to 7 months to acquire a weight of 250g to 300g. We do not want to sell the farm and are looking for a well established fish farming company that would be interested in a partnership in farming fish on the farm. The farm has a very good intact infrastructure. All info will be sent with photos on request.

I’ve waited 4 months to give my review. I went back in December 17 for the
1st time. Great visit. Took about 2.5 hours for the allergy testing
but not the patch testing which is what I wanted. No one told me that was the south park office only.
I was having severe reactions to dental work and brought the items
from the dentist for patches. So I come back a few weeks later cause one gal
only does the patches and she’s booked! But I also agree to
allergy shots again and am assured I won’t have a reaction like I did years ago.
Ok. Great. The nurse happen to notice Dr. Errington forgot to put cat in my serum!
The most important! So he mixes me up some more for free. They
forget to call me and it expires so now it’s almost mid April and
still no allergy shots. Supposedly they will be ready Wednesday but no one ever
calls me back except for once! After this batch of allergy shots is done if I ever get them I think I’ll be looking for a new allergist.
Good luck to you all! https://leam.com
