I have been tinkering with the idea of fish farming for a while now & I am currently researching (various sources) as much as i can and thought it wise to seek advise from anyone who is or has been involved in a similar venture. What would one need to look out for when setting up a Fish Pond(s) on say part 1/2 - 1 acre land.

Primarily want to aquaculture Nile Tilapia.

It is simple and initial capital is very low. You only need to have water,limited pipes,labour to dig and money to buy fingerings. Talk to me on Email: maingikim@gmail.com

Investing in stocks without doing the homework that lets you arrive at a fair estimate of the value of business it represents,is like buying a house without ever having stepped inside.

tread carefully. i have seen guys burn in this "too simple" DIY fishing business for various reasons.
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

having funded a relative to buy fish from limuru fish farm and sell to city market, i learnt price for fish from farms is much lower than that from the lake; what's the difference?

It has to be; fish from the lake is much tastier than fish from the farms/ponds. I guess the lake ones are exposed to a variety of foodstuffs and nutrients that a fish farmer cannot provide. plus the space within the lake is much larger, making them swim more and grow healthier (and heavier). This is just a hypothesis; on the taste though l am sure. You can straight away tell the difference.
The laudable is more often than not rendered laughable by overclaim
