TRASNPORTATION OF FINGERLINGS IN NIGERIA

If the fingerling are to be taken from a market or to a pond which requires a few hours or a long distance of travel, they must be protected better. One method which can also be used for fingerlings transportation is to:
(1) place fingerling into plastic bags or container filled with 1/3 of water.
(2) Fill the rest of the bag or container with oxygen. The oxygen is put into the bag with a hose placed directley into the water so that the oxygen bubbles into the water.
(3) Tie the bag tightly so that the oxygen does not leak out.
(4) place the plastic bags into tin box to keep it save from shock.
(5) change the water in the bags after six hours. The oxygen will last only that long.
(6) Make sure that the bags do not get too hot and that the temperature of the water in the bag stays at about the same temperature as the water from which the fingerlings were taken from.
STOCKING OF FINGERLINGS.
Place the bag in the pond unopened until the water temperature inside the bag is about the same as the temperature in the pond.
Open the bag and let some pond water mix with the water inside the bag and let the bag fill slowly, then the fish will swim out into the pond by its self. If you do not have access to oxygen, is more save to transport in a container and change its water when it gets hot.
