How big will my operation have to be so that it can support me?
Depends upon the minimum income you require. Most aquaculture operations require a 24 hour a day committment and for seven days a week. Generally mains electric power is required and you will need a backup generator. The food cost for the aquatic animals will be a major cost, then electricity, depreciation, fingerlings or seed stock. If you work on an average price of $ 10.00 per kilogram for what you produce you will need to produce 15 tonnes per year to gross $ 150,000 - with no accidents or foul-ups you might get $ 15,000 for your efforts after all costs have been deducted. (not much for being on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week)
I have been a customer for a long time. I get good advice, the staff are honest and the shop has a good product range
