One of the value chains of Catfish business is hatching of the catfish. It is a venture that requires high skill and technique because one has to use the biological process of artificial insemination to do it.

The profitability of this business lies in the numbers. A single hatching operation of catfish hatching can produce 5000 fingerlings. And if one is sold at 50 cents, you have made a whole lot of money from a single operation.

Most fishermen claimed that it is the easiest and profitable way to earn money in doing catfish ponds. This type of fish is not delicate when it comes to reproducing them.

Any catfish farmer that can hatch would make much money. That's because he would be supplying to other farmers and it doesn't take much cost to hatch catfish. Just master the procedures.

I would love to venture into this kind of business. What is the estimate in which someone should budget when trying to venture into such a business?.

Catfish hatchery business is a good business to venture into, because people who run run fastfood business and restaurants business are the major patronizers, people are always yearning to have a taste of pepper soaked Catfish for relaxation.

The opportunity for a catfish hatchery business in my country is a very profitable business, because there are many catfish enthusiasts here. Pecel lele is one of the most popular dishes, the combination of rice, fried catfish, fresh vegetables and chili sauce makes this food very suitable for dinner.

Hatching catfish is a skill that is very rare and not many people can do it. If you learn how to do it, you would be making lots of money as Farms would be calling you to come hatch for them on contract.

Catfish business has lots of potentiality in the business. Money could be made in all aspects of the catfish business.
Money could be made in hatchery whereby you specialize in extracting eggs from them and hatched them into fingerlings.
These fingerlings could be sold to those are engaged in catfish business as well. Fingerlings could also be used as feeding.
Fingerlings could also be raised into juveniles and sold to whoever that wanted to go into catfish rearing business.

I will tell you that this is a very lucrative business because I am already in the business of fish farming and it is something that I always buy from those that are hatching those fingerings.

And to tell you the truth, they don't spend so much to raise those fries to fingerlings because at that level, the young fishes can't really eat much. It is highly profitable. But it is very technical.

You are very correct with that assessment and I am actually thinking about starting it myself so that will not have to purchase from them again and in the end I will offer the services to other people that are into the line of business.

I once heard a friend that wanted to learn it. He said he was charged about $500 to be taught the skill. It involves some biological processes that is highly technical.

I am a catfish hatcher and I can tell you for free that a good hatcher has a lot of jobs to come hatch in these big Farms. They don't like stable employment. They prefer freelancing.

Sounds really nice. Someone once told me there is lot of money in the catfish business. I was not even aware there are specific persons who would handle the hatching process and the likes.

Hatching of catfish is the most profitable aspect of catfish business. You would get to benefit from the prolific reproductive powers of catfish. And it doesn't require much capital to start.

Personally I don't think that the charge of $500 is too big because the knowledge and skill that you're going to acquire by learning that will easily pay you that money back in 10 times the fold.

I also don't think it is too much. It is just that in Nigeria, the idea of someone paying a premium for knowledge is not part of the embedded culture. That is a lifetime skill.
