maybe focus on paddlies right water part of it
now as you can see these uh punch which ranges from quarter acre half acre one acre tree a two
acre very large ones right uh potter wheels are a huge mechanical um what they call it no uh
impeller impala all right that actually turns it normally you have three or four on a long stretch
um and it actually turns in the water um and this is propelled by energy that it's coming from
um a a source such as a such as a a turbine or a motor or somewhere some something like that right
the paddle wheel is used to oxygenate uh large pawn areas it's also used to
lift water uh us i would say gentle to short arm
height right powder wheels are great at oxygenating uh fish ponds uh such as these uh
however potter wheels do not um tend to like i don't know oxygenate the the base of the pond
so what you'll find is that most of the pond is aerated at the top right well the top of the pond
is mostly aerated right why is the the bees are the the lower part of the pawn um is like you
know in adult room like right uh with regards to the energy now power wheel can be it can fix it so
it can be used in um the the same thing like the same type of engine that you would use in the in
a lawn mower right you can use so it would be like electric like you plug it into an electric source
and you can also use a power wheel um in using batteries right apart wheel can be in the center
of the pawn it can be at the side of the pawn uh it can be stationary or it can be buoyant right uh
the problem with polar wheel is that if you allow the probability to just move freely um over the
water uh it will probably over time get stuck on the the banks uh on you know the siding of
the pond so normally uh fish farmers tend to tie uh the potter wheel uh in the opposite direction
so as as it's actually paddling forward it will be tied to apartheid uh lent out into the pond itself
and um it would actually be like with the aerating the water now it is expensive to have a product
wheel running for 24 7 in jamaica a particular right so what some um what some some some farmer
actually do is to actually have a time schedule in which the padres are turned on and you might be
saying that um what about the waste uh what about filtration what about the whole idea of managing
you know nitrate nitrites within the pond system now uh i showed you a few videos ago
that one of the key components of constructing the pawn is that it is constructed with clay
now clay is a very excellent agent of actually managing waste it manages nitrites and nitrites
nitrates and nitrites right so with uh with clay managing the pond uh waste right and at the end
of the harvesting of the pond what you'll find is that the pond is left dried for a few weeks
if not months right before any other um like preparation for another stock is done to that one
what you find is that it gives the clay enough time like i would say giving up clean enough time
to retrieve it right however that that that that that is that is one of the the the key component
on a low scale um doing a a fish spawn in jamaica also points to note that a large spawn like this
you would not want to change right so um one acre pond with a lot of water coming in from the river
you would have water you would have water being pumped in and been pumped out
depending on the circumstance uh we're right not there too much planking turns
uh they have been flooding somewhere or they need to adjust um adjust the the water parameter great
importance that you consider a means of filtration or should i say aeration of your pawn based on the
density of uh the stockinette you have right the most the more dense the the uh the tilapia pawn is
is the more uh mechanism needed so as to aviate the pond should there be uh a pond that is too
dense you know having a lot of stock a lot of fish and the fish are actually swimming and hitting
against each other and um you know the slime is dropping off what you'll find is that you'll have
more fish actually becoming ill sick or even dying right so uh one of the the the the best ways for
us to ensure that a pond stock is kept healthy is through aviation a lot of space and um regular
maintenance of your water but knowing uh several small farmers uh jamaica and the caribbean right
their space in which they do keep uh till up their cichlids are very small thus uh
and it's it's not in an earthen pond right so their fish will practically taste different
and will actually the growth rate will be a much much different because the the larger
the space the quicker the fish go the quicker the stock turnover the more income right so
these are just some things that you ponder when uh keeping or planning to uh invest heavily within a
tilapia fish farm thank you for stopping by uh remember to like share and subscribe
