Feeding of Fry and fingerling
Artemia is the best starter food for fries. Artemia is a natural
type of zooplankton, which is shipped in cans. The encapsulated cysts are
hatched and then live Artemia are put in the tank and preyed upon by the young
larvae and fry. It is recommended to feed the fry frequently in first period of
rearing.

SORTING: A Necessary Factor
Catfish grow differentially as a result of varies in genetic
quality of the fish species. Fish start to have their varied genetic quality
from egg stage (from different egg sizes). Therefore, the differential growth
pattern becomes evident. This phenomenon, which causes the emergence of
oversized fish (SHOOTERS), can cause cannibalism. The situation can thus, be
well managed through sorting out of the shooter (every two weeks) into another
pond and this is where and extra tank is needed.
The following are use to sort fish:
- Counting board
- Sieve with lager opening, depending on the size of the fish (sorting
bowl)
DISEASES OF FINGERLINGS
Usually no disease breaks out during pond nursing of fries, if the
pond preparation for nursing is carried out according to above suggestions. As
a result of high temperature and abundance of natural food organisms,
resistance of growing fish is excellent.
Bacterial infection of fish population reared in hatcheries is
quite common. The most frequent pathogen is Flexibacter columnaries.
Fish reared in overstocked condition or in tanks with insufficient cleaning and
also the starving fish populations are susceptible to such type of bacterial
infection. Colour of infected fish is whitish. Bacterial colonies can develop
mainly on epithelium of fins and barbells and around the mouth of fry. Sometime
small pieces of sick fish are curved backward. Infected fish stay sometimes in
vertical position “hanging” near surface of water. After outbreak of disease
same antibiotic and formalin treatments with higher frequency are required than
for prophylaxis. Fungal and parasitic infections may occur among different size
of fry and fingerlings. Malachite green, Formalin or Dip Terex baths are the
best measures to control them. Suggested concentration of malachite green
treatment is maximum 0.07 mg/liter. Frequency of their fatigue treatment is
4-5/day. Formalin is a good tool for controlling bacterial and protozoan
infections at the rate of 5-10 ml/100 liter applied as it was detailed before.
Suggested frequency of formalin baths are effective against worm-type gill or
skin parasites. The allowed frequency of such treatment is not more than
two-type gill or skin parasites. The allowed frequency of such treatment is not
more than two-three days.
