Activity 03
Fish farming
FAMZ has a row of concrete fish ponds, each with its own valve. The first production cycle starts in the coming weeks: 1,000 African catfish (Clarias) fingerlings, raised with close monitoring of water, feed and growth.
What we do
Day to day on the farm
The facilities
A row of concrete ponds, filled and drained through valve-controlled PVC pipes, complemented by two 5 m³ above-ground tanks for the first cycle.
Measure first
Before stocking, the ponds are checked (useful depth, drainage, protection) and a Sikasso specialist is consulted on density, water and feed.
A pilot cycle
1,000 Clarias fingerlings, raised over 5 to 6 months; indicative target of about 640 kg of fish sold if survival reaches 80%.
Tilapia under study
Nile tilapia is being studied in parallel for a second cycle, based on data from the Sikasso market.
Respect for the environment
Drain water will follow a validated management plan: no direct discharge, no uncontrolled reuse on crops.

From pilot to regular production
If the first cycle is successful, production will gradually increase to 1 t per year (Phase 1), then 20 t per year with the PAIZ hub.
