About the BookMany fish farmers have in times past fallen victim of procuring bad fish seeds, leading to failure as they either died or refused to grow. This could be attributed to bad parent stocks, poor water management, poor stocking density, poor feeding etc. on the producers'' part except for those from farms with credibility which perform well and grow to good sizes.In solving this problem once and for all, it is necessary for fish farmers to start producing their own fish seeds (with all the needed care) for effective production, and this is what this handbook offers. It is written in such a way that the farmer who is interested in hatching their own fishes can do so without necessarily being monitored or supervised, the reason for the name "Do-It-Yourself" guide. The pictures used are deliberately included for easy perception of the whole process. With this guide at your disposal, you are fully armed for catfish seed production.

About the Book Aquaculture, popularly referred to as fish farming is a fast growing business around the world, attracting many investors from diverse sectors. Clarias happens to be the most cultured species in the tropics and it has been proven to yield good returns at market size. However, many of these investors dabble into the venture with little or no information at their disposal. As a result of this uninformed venture into an unknown business, many of such farmers have recorded a great deal of loss in one way or the other over time.

The questions contained in this handbook are those encountered during our training sessions, consultancy services etc and many of them are potential questions in many farmers'' mind. That is why we have taken good time to explain them; and the correct application of the information gathered from this piece will definitely improve your practice.

About the Book It has been discovered through years of Aquaculture consultations that many farmers are faced with one challenge or the other in the catfish culture process, and one of such major areas of concern is the issue of producing stunted, small-sized table fish at harvest period. Some farmers stock their ponds and six months later, they are still struggling to achieve one kilogram (1kg) of table fish. This is not normal. And the reason for this most times is the farmers'' inadequate knowledge on how catfish should be cultured and raised. There are certain keys meant for certain doors without which the doors will remain shut. Also, for catfish, there are certain keys needed to unlock their growth potentials in such a way that in four (4) months, you will be producing big sized table fish without struggle, thereby enabling you to achieve three (3) cycles of production in a 12 months calendar year. What you are about to encounter in this handbook are the secrets you need to know and apply in order to get your desired results in catfish farming. Read carefully and pick the keys.

About the BookWhen a promise is made, one may be doubtful as to whether the fellow making the promise will fulfill it or not; but when the fellow backs up the promise with an oath - swearing by someone greater than himself, every form of doubt will disappear because the fellow is now bound to fulfill what he has promised. This was the case with God and Abraham. He gave him a promise, and since there is no one greater than Him, He decided to swear by Himself. He put His Almightiness, Holiness, Righteousness, Most Highness and Sovereignty on the line; and sure enough, He fulfilled what He promised him - He blessed him and greatly multiplied him.The word ''immutability'' according to Oxford Advanced Learner''s Dictionary means something that cannot be changed, something that will never change. That''s what God is trying to get across. Since He will never tell a lie (Numbers 23:19), He is saying He will fulfill all He has promised us, without changing any of them. This is because He had sworn by Himself to do so. This book in your hand is a collection of fifty (50) of the promises He had made to all His children; as you read and meditate on them, ask Him to fulfill them in your own life and He will definitely do so.

About the BookEcclesiastes 3:1 says "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven."As far as this world is concerned, there are always two seasons. Examples of such seasons include those mentioned in Genesis 8:22 - seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.How then does this apply to man?The abode of man is ''under the heaven'' and as a result, according to the earlier quoted Ecclesiastes 3:1, all men are under the influence of these times and seasons whether they are conscious of it or not. As long as men continue to exist ''under the heaven'', they are bound to experience these times and seasons at one point or the other in their lifetime.The truth however is some of these seasons could be very frustrating and unpalatable; they are mostly better imagined than experienced. At these times, people find themselves asking all manners of questions; like ''Why Me?'' Why did God allow this to happen to me?'' among others. But you can be sure God always has answers to man''s questions; and that is what this book is offering you - God''s response to your questions.
