Tilapia farmingMore than 5 mill tons in 2014
China no. 1.
Much for domestic consumption
Cage farming gives better quality.
Cage production is expanding.
Lakes and reservoirs very sutitable.

Positive of cage farmingDoes well in cages.
Norwegian technology functiones well
With good conditions it has good growth and acceptable FCR.

Small scale cage farming

Industrial Cage farming of tilapia
Feed is more than 60% of production cost
![Page 7: Fish farming and cultural understanding. Cage farming of tilapia. Lessons learned Launching a 70m cage at Isla Ometepe, Lake Nicaragua.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f285503460f94c40a15/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Upscaling60 kg/m3 cannot be transfered to large cages.
The water exchange is done trough the net panel.
The tilapia shall not only survive it shall perform at its best.
Equipment is not the biggest cost in cage farming.
Large industrially produced cages are cost effective, environmental friendly and long lasting.

GIFT5 grams to 1kg in 6 months
FCR of 1,35
Less than 5% mortality
High Filet yield
Tolerates brackish water

EquipmentThings have to fit together
Much of the operations are done manually
Spare parts for techical equipment
Not necesarry with Norwegian dimensions
Never forget the software
Remember the tropics (sun, fouling etc)

NegativeInvasive, can have negative
biological impact
Pollution and Eutrofication
Use of antibiotics and chemicals

Cultural challenges

When in Rome, do as the romans

ManagementImportant to remember:
Often the transition time from foreign to local management is too short, min 3-4 years.
Responsibilty is given to the workers.
Make sure the reasons and methods for routines and working operations are understood.
Most of the time you get what you pay for.
![Page 18: Fish farming and cultural understanding. Cage farming of tilapia. Lessons learned Launching a 70m cage at Isla Ometepe, Lake Nicaragua.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f285503460f94c40a15/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Employment is less than 10% of production cost
![Page 19: Fish farming and cultural understanding. Cage farming of tilapia. Lessons learned Launching a 70m cage at Isla Ometepe, Lake Nicaragua.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062321/56649f285503460f94c40a15/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Social responsibiltyThe company should be a part of the society
Important to spread the employment locally.
Employment of women if possible
Try to avoid corruption and be transparent
Adjust most things to local conditions, but never those that are essensial for the success of the operation

Be a happy fish farmer
There is alway a cold beer waiting in the end of a long hot day (texan saying)
