Text B. Production phases

There are several categories for production of aquaculture products: 1) food organisms, 2) bait industry, 3) aquaria trade-ornamental and feeder fish, 4) fee fishing, 5) pond and lake stockings, 6) biological supply houses. Regardless of the above mentioned categories, each of them involves some production phases: 1) securing and spawning of brood stock, 2) hatching of eggs, 3) growing fry to produce fingerlings, 4) stocking and grow-out of fingerlings to marketable size. Some farmers will perform all phases of production while others may specialize and skip one or more of the four phases of production. These farmers may, for example, produce only fingerlings to sell to farmers who will in turn grow those fish for market as food fish. The number of production levels chosen for an individual farm usually is based on: the size of the operation, expertise, amount of capital available to purchase specialized equipment and personal preference. Marketing is very important in the production of any type of aquaculture species. The aquaculturist may be faced with a serious obstacle without a well-thought-out marketing plan.
