Tittle: Factors to Consider in Establishing a Successful Aquaculture
Link: https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/38908208.pdf
Introduction
Aquaculture Extension workers are often asked by potential fish farmers, “How do I get started in fish farming?”
As a response, they are referred to general fish farming publications that discuss getting started in aquaculture, such
as those found in the list of additional readings at the end of this work. Many such publications provide a checklist
of questions as a way to begin learning about aquaculture. Here I outline and discuss critical factors that should be
considered before starting a fish farming business. Let us consider four steps to profitable aquaculture: learning,
evaluating, planning, and testing.
• Learn all you can about aquaculture. The local County Extension office is a good place to start. Within the North
Central Region some county Extension agents have been trained to respond to requests for aquaculture information
from prospective fish farmers. County Extension agents can direct you to people within your state who are
responsible for Aquaculture Extension. Aquaculture Extension specialists will help you find specific information.
Visit working fish farms, both private and public. Talk with experienced fish farmers. Join your state aquaculture
association. Subscribe to aquaculture periodicals. Read all you can about aquaculture. View videos about
aquaculture. Attend aquaculture workshops, seminars, and conferences.
• Evaluate your resources—human and natural. Do you have the time, energy and financial resources to develop a
fish farm? Do you have both land and water that can be used for fish farming? What equipment will you need to
raise fish? Are there local markets for fish that you can supply?
• Plan your aquacultural enterprise. Develop a business plan. Such a plan will help you to think through the
operation. Look for potential pitfalls. What permits do you need to raise fish for sale? A business plan is essential
if you hope to obtain outside financing for your enterprise.
• Test your plan on a scale that you can afford. Are you able to grow fish on a small scale? What works? What
doesn’t work? Build your business after you have worked out the problems in your plan and as you gain knowledge
and skill as a fish farmer. Make sure you can grow and sell the fish before you invest large amounts of time and
money on production.

Article 2
Title: Crop yield increased productivity
LINK: https://eos.com/blog/crop-yield-increase/
For centuries, farmers have pondered over and worked on the issue of increasing crop yields. Some of the
solutions found were efficient and some were not. Today, in addition to the valuable experience of previous
generations of farmers, the agriculture industry can also benefit from the achievements of modern science and
technology. Let’s now look at the main ways for the farmers to increase crop yields and see how previous
experience and advanced technology can be effectively combined to improve agrarians’ performance.
Quality of Seeds
Agricultural productivity depends on the quality of seeds with which farmers sow their fields. Therefore, in
order to increase crop yield on their farmlands, agrarians are recommended to sow only certified seeds that have
passed all the necessary quality controls. Certified seeds may cost higher than those that do not have certification,
but the result will be worth it, because the proper quality of seeds is one of the main factors that affect crop yield.
Besides that, planting only high-quality seeds represents one of the eco-friendly methods to increase crop yield. If
needed, a farmer can check the quality of particular seeds by referring to a relevant seed company and requesting
it to conduct special trials on a given land plot.
Apart from this, is it important to remember that the quality of seeds is not something that is permanent and
undamageable. Seed grains need protection – seed coating – from the moment they are planted in the ground. Seed
coating is the process of protecting seed grains with outer materials in order to improve their characteristics
(weight, size) and/or provide them with some active compounds (micronutrients, microbial inoculants, growth
regulators, etc.) called to protect them against plant diseases and boost their growth.
Field Productivity Zoning
Before sowing, it is important for a farmer to understand productivity of the field that is to be sowed and, if
applicable, define specific areas where plants grow better. This process is called productivity zoning. In this way,
a grower can plant seeds more densely in the areas with greater productivity, potentially getting increased crop
yield, and do not waste them much in the zones with low productivity.

 Article 1
TITLE: FISH POND
Link: https://thehealthyfish.com/4-common-methods-aquaculture/
Fish ponds-The oldest type of fish farming is the pond system, which originated thousands of years ago. Pond farms
include earthen pond, ditch or canal systems, with clay-based soils that can easily be diked to make enclosures. Of course,
more sophisticated methods may be deployed on today’s industrial scale—but it’s worth noting that pond systems are often
depended on in developing countries, where a shortage of wild fish could have serious nutritional consequences. The fact
that they are self-contained and can be used for several different types of fish at once makes them an optimal choice for
farmers. When handled properly, ponds have a wealth of potential. Because they’re situated inland, or at least isolated from
larger bodies of water, it’s relatively simple to send the waste water into side pools to be processed, or used as fertilizer.
This significantly reduces the negative effects of pond enclosures on the natural environment.
Open Net Pens- If you’ve read stories about or seen pictures of fish farming, you’ve probably seen net pens. In their
most common form, they involve a framework made from metal, wood or bamboo, which floats on the surface of a body of
water and supports a mesh enclosure. They are either anchored to the bottom of the water body, attached to a secure structure
nearby, or both. Fish farmers favor net pens because of their flexibility, versatility and scale. They’re able to succeed in
whichever type of water body best suits the needs of their stocks. They’re designed to allow water to flow freely through,
which helps farmers deal with waste.

Article 1
TITLE: IRRIGATION SYSTEM
LINK: https://www.conserve-energy-future.com/types-methods-importance-irrigation.php
Irrigation is the process of watering crops, pasture, and plants by the use of water, which is supplied through pipes,
sprinklers, canals, sprays, pumps and other man-made features, rather than purely relying on rainfall. In other words, it is a
method of an advanced watering system for helping plants to grow because it is applied as an alternative to rain-fed farming.
It is also a technique of fulfilling plant or crop water requirements as they need it as an essential resource for growth. At
the same time, it aids in providing plants with the nutrients required for development and growth, as well as achieving high
yields by enabling the penetration of roots in the dry fields. Types of Irrigation 1. Surface Irrigation It is the most common
type of irrigation as it simply employs gravity to distribute water over a field by following the contour of the land. In surface
irrigation, for example, water will flow downhill from an area of higher elevation, reaching all the crops. 2. Drip Irrigation-
Drip irrigation, also sometimes referred to as trickle irrigation, is a sub-type of localized irrigation, where droplets of water
are delivered directly to or near the roots of a plant at a very low flow rate. It is an effective type of irrigation as it minimizes
evaporation and water runoff. It is also very suitable for all types of topography and soils and perfect for areas with limited
amounts of water or with high water costs. 3. Sprinkler Irrigation-As the name suggests; sprinklers are used to irrigate in a
way that simulates natural rainfall. The system is operated in a way that ensures water is applied uniformly. Overhead high-
pressure sprinklers or guns are used to distribute water from a central location in the field, usually by pumping. 4. Subsurface
Irrigation-In this type of irrigation, the surface of the soil is not made wet. Instead, the water is fed directly to the ground
through capillarity to reduce airborne drift and lessen runoff. This way, the water table is raised making it easier for crops
to access the water they require. It uses buried pipes or tubes or drip tape to provide for the water needs of the crops or
plants. Its advantage is that it saves water loss from evaporation and improves crop yields by minimizing the incidences of
disease and weeds.
