The document summarizes the building of a fish house and fish farming demonstration at an agricultural college in Nigeria. Teachers and students participated in excavating land and constructing the fish house, including installing plastic tanks. However, security issues prevented stocking the tanks at the college, so fingerlings were placed in demonstration ponds nearby instead. The document recommends completing construction of the fish house and stocking the tanks to continue the project, and implementing other integrated fish farming practices.
5. GROUP PARTICIPATION IN IMPLEMENTATION
AND BUILDING OF THE FISH HOUSE
Excavation of plot for
fish house
Agric teachers and
students watch as the
building commences
BUILDING CONTINUES
Uncompleted block work
MISSING GAP
It is necessary to state here
that the fingerlings for
stocking at the Collage
plastic tanks could not be
stocked there due to
security and poaching
issues. The fish house and
store compartment have not
been completed. The
fingerlings are therefore
Stocked at the Institutes
demonstration ponds near
the college.
Partially installed plastic tanks
OTHER FARMS INTEGRATIONS
Stocked fish at NIOMR
demonstration centre at
Badore.
Some students have been
allotted some plots for
Yam farming as well as
maize
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The beneficiaries of the project are eager for continuity and completion of the fish house and subsequent stocking
of the tanks. It is recommended that the other aspects of integrated fish farming as practiced in Songhai and
elsewhere in Nigeria be effected immediately.
