Farming Fish

This document provides instructions for planning and setting up a backyard fish pond. It discusses selecting a low-lying spot where water naturally collects, designing the pond with a means to harvest fish, sealing the pond with a plastic liner, carefully filling it with water, and removing the plastic once the process is complete. It also briefly describes some common fish species that are suitable for fish farming, including tilapia, carp, and catfish. Tilapia is one of the most widely cultivated fish globally and is harvested using lift nets, while carp and catfish can both grow to marketable sizes in rearing ponds.
