Operating Styles, Strategies and Facilities

This is one of ten eBooks on the commercial production of ornamental fish. It is based predominantly on the author's 30 years of experience, mostly on his own farms. While a few of the eBooks are purely commercial, others, particularly those on breeding, will also be helpful to hobbyists, understandable even by beginners. The following description is provided as a guide. This section gives different options in facility design, and production methods and strategies for different circumstances, with advantages and disadvantages for each. The section includes detailed descriptions and illustrations of 3 production layouts: a small, home-sized production set-up, a medium sized operation in a large insulated shed, and a large farm layout. This section is suited to commercial breeders and producers.
