At fish cage
Loading Bangus fingerlings
At the initial stage of Bangus (milkfish) culture in fish cages, it is essential to stock fresh and healthy fingerlings. Selecting high-quality fingerlings ensures better survival rates, faster growth, and overall success in the culture system.
Loading Barangan fingerlings
Barangan fingerlings are loaded into a fish cage, and proper handling and stocking procedures must be followed to ensure their health and optimal growth.
Changing Net
Replacing or cleaning fish cage nets every 10 to 15 days is essential for maintaining water quality and ensuring sufficient dissolved oxygen for the fish. Over time, nets accumulate algae, biofouling, and debris, which can reduce water flow and oxygen exchange, leading to poor fish health and slower growth rates.
Removing dead fish
Removing dead fish daily is crucial to prevent water contamination and maintain a healthy environment in the fish cage. Dead fish decompose quickly, releasing harmful substances such as ammonia and promoting bacterial growth, which can lead to poor water quality and disease outbreaks among the remaining fish.
