MANAGEMENT OF JUVENILES

A lot of farmers can’t really tell when their fishes have reached the juvenile stage; so they end up selling young adults as juveniles - thus short-changing themselves. The conventional size of juvenile is defined in this chapter together with the basic principles you still need to follow to ensure a good harvest at the end of the day. Without the right fingerlings, good juveniles cannot be raised, so the six important points to note in order to identify runts so you don’t buy them as fingerlings with the hope of raising them to juveniles is also discussed. Finally how to avoid some careless mistakes farmers make at this stage plus other tips for successful farming are also discussed.
