In catfish farming, water quality is everything. 💧 It directly affects the health and growth of your fish. I learned that without clean, well-maintained water, no matter how well you feed your fish, they won’t thrive. Keeping an eye on water pH, oxygen levels, and cleanliness is a game changer. If you're starting or thinking of starting fish farming, prioritize water quality from day one—it makes all the difference! #FishFarming #WaterQuality #Aquaculture #SustainableFarming #Agribusiness

In short: no. Fish farming relies on fishmeal, which is produced from small, open-ocean fish such as anchovies, herring, sardines, and mackerel. Large amounts of fish must be caught to feed farmed fish and the ghost fishing gear crisis could even worsen! On top of that, ocean-based farms use nets and various plastic materials for their infrastructure, some of them will inevitably end up polluting the oceans. #ocn #oceanconservationnamibia #fishfarming #learnsomethingnew #skipthefish #oceansonervation *this post is part of an ongoing social media campaign discussing the effects of fish farming – visit ocnamibia.org for more

Companion planting is an organic and ecological farming principle that involves planting several plants that are beneficial to each other in close proximity. 🟦The plants are supposed to aid each other in pest and disease control, uptake of nutrients, shading, pollination, catch crop, and as a sacrificial crop. In companion farming this are set of companion plants. 🔷Carrots and garlic – control carrot root fly. 🔷Beans and fennel – control aphids in beans. 🔷Broad bean and snow peas – control leaf miner from snow peas. 🔷Maize and climbing beans- maize provides bean with a trellis for climbing. 🔷Hot Peppers and tomatoes- repels most pests invading tomatoes. 🔷Nasturtiums with various vegetables eg tomatoes– control of nematodes. 🔷Maize, Napier grass and desmodium – stem borer and Striga. #classtime #planthealth #symbiotism #zerohunger

Fish farming, or aquaculture, is one of the fastest-growing food production sectors globally, supplying nearly half of the fish we consume. It encompasses diverse species like tilapia, salmon, and catfish, offering a sustainable alternative to wild fishing. Farmed fish are rich in protein and essential nutrients, supporting human health and providing economic benefits by creating jobs in coastal and rural areas. Technological advancements and integrated systems like aquaponics have improved efficiency and sustainability. Despite challenges, fish farming continues to meet the growing global demand for seafood while promoting environmental conservation. #FishFarming #Aquaculture #SustainableFarming #FlosellFarms

Questions to Ask Your Caviar Supplier: 1/10 - What is Your Farming Method? When selecting a caviar supplier, it's crucial to understand their farming practices. At Persian Caviar, we use semi-wild farming methods. This approach is sustainable and mimics the natural habitats of sturgeon, allowing them to swim freely within large perimeters. 🌊 Our farms are strategically located to replicate the native conditions of different sturgeon species. This careful placement ensures that we can closely match the natural environmental conditions essential for their growth. 🌍 Unlike typical basin farming where sturgeons can injure themselves and often require antibiotics to prevent disease, our semi-wild approach eliminates the need for antibiotics altogether, ensuring our caviar is 100% antibiotic-free. This not only supports sturgeon health but also ensures the highest quality, purest caviar for our clients. 🐟 #CaviarSupply #SustainableFarming #PersianCaviar
