Fish Farming Course (Lesson 7) - Economics of Production

agree business is where we cut costs and maximize profits therefore let us do some small mathematics or the cost of production in rearing of fish we'll start with a fish pond if you are constructing a fish pond what are the costs that you consider following upon we need several materials we need equipment we need machinery we

need labor and we need a polythene so what is the overall cost assuming you're constructing a fish pond over 20 by 20 meters and a dike of 2 meters therefore it is 22 times 22 meters when constructing a liner ponder there are factors to consider he was choosing the polythene gauge a hard gauge is not recommended while

constructing a fish border as it is hard to fold and also can break during operations therefore a standard gauge of about three millimeters to five millimeters is recommended this makes it easier for operations for a standard polythener with a gauge of about three millimeters to five millimeters thickness the average cost is a 2.5 dollars

let's give an example if we are constructing a pond over 20 by 20 meters you require a liner paper over 22 by 22 meters because you will have to tack it in the dike therefore the total size of the reina paper will be 484 meters squared the cost of the liner paper will be

484 meter squared multiplied by two point five dollars per meter which will be twelve hundred and ten us dollars when constructing our fish ponder we can do hired labor or manual rebar you can use a tractor or hired human river for a tractor to construct a fish ponder you require a tractor for a day which is

charged hourly for a 22 by 22 meters fish bonder you require one tractor for one hour and usually the average cost of hiring a tractor is between 70 to a hundred dollars per hour for human reba to construct the same size of a fish ponder you require at least five men per day for five days
