According to a conducted survey, two\nproduction systems do exist in Togo with extensive system (about 88%) that is\ncarried out in earthen ponds and reservoirs, while the semi intensive system (about\n12%) is practiced in tanks and ponds.  The\npond shown in the inserted pictures covers about 600 m2<\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the eight fish species that are farmed\nin Togo, Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and the African catfish (Clarias\ngariepinus) combined represent about 80% of farmed fish production in Togo. In\nfact, the consumption of catfish is moderately appreciated in Togo because\nthere are certain populations which do not consume it. However, it is much more\nappreciated by Nigerians residing in Togo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Catfish fingerlings are obtained from\nfingerling farms in Togo. They are stocked at a density that ranges from 3 to 5\nfingerlings\/m2. The feed provided is extruded compound feed.\n\nThe grow-out period lasts about 6 to 7 months\ndepending on the stocking dates and market availability. The average weight\nupon harvesting is about 750g\/specimen.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
