Aquaculture

This topic covers the principles and practices of fish farming, an important avenue for protein production and income in Zambia. Learners will explore the value of aquaculture, different production systems (ponds, cages, tanks), and suitable fish species. The unit provides detailed instruction on site selection, pond construction, stocking, feeding, water quality management, disease control, harvesting, and marketing. This competence aligns with the CBC's focus on alternative food production systems. It is tested by ECZ through questions on pond management, integrated farming systems, and the steps involved in establishing a fish farming enterprise.
