As you'd suspect, fish eggs are delicate and vulnerable, they need to be kept safe. Left to natures whims, the majority of fertilized ova don't make it. But you can assure that most of yours do make it if you properly house and protect them.
At this point, you've gotten your DIY fish farming pond all set up, and you've gotten the vegetation planted.
You have an adequate a natural food source for the fish and you're ready to start farming some fish.
This is a critical stage in the process. It is essential that you set up rearing ponds, boxes and hatching trays before you introduce fish or fish eggs.
Hatching trays can be made of perforated zinc fairly easily. Make them 1½ inches deep, and the ova hatch out well in them. The size of hatching tray you'll need will depend on the size box you will suspend them in.
An excellent box for holding your hatching trays can be made with perforated zinc sides. The rest of the box is made of hardwood. These are placed in the pond and the bottome is filled with a thick layer of gravel.
When in operation in the water, the trays are loaded with ova and suspended in the boxes. They have to be positioned so that a good current of the water can move through them. Before you put ova into these boxes, you should allow them to sit in the pond. This will ensure that nothing contaminates the area when the eggs are introduced.
Young fish and eggs need to be protected from the sun and predators. That's why you need to keep your rearing ponds near willows and other shady trees. Its also quite important to have as much tall grass and weeds as possible growing on the banks.
Netting can be put over rearing ponds to keep hungry birds out. But you'll have to keep watch over your brood. Birds are smart and even when you think that you've made things secure, they might still get in.
There are also some water weeds that will provide shade and protection. They can easily be grown in most any size rearing pond. A small number of water-cress, water-lobelia, or water-milfoil will go a long way in a small pond.
For the DIY fish farmer, it's all about protecting and nuturing those little fish to adulthood. Taking the time to outfit yourself with hatching trays, rearing boxes, and ponds is well worth it.
In the next article of this series, you'll learn about the early stages of the fishes life. We'll cover lots of ground, from collecting the ova & fertilizing it to caring for and feeding new hatchlings.
