B. Let Us Study

Ways of Harvesting Fish

Depending on the size of the fish, it is possible to harvest as early as the
second or third month. The size of the fish is just right averaging about 50
grams each. Total or partial harvesting maybe done depending on the
demand or need of the family and the market. To harvest fish, there are
several methods used:
1. Use of “Taklob” – This is commonly used by the fisherman who catch
fish normally for home consumption since the device catches only a few
at a time.
2. Use of Baited Hook and Line – it usually take times to catch many fishes
at a time. This method is preferred by hobbyists and fish enthusiast.
3. Use of Net – This is the most commonly used method by fisherman and
commercial fishing boats. There are two kind of net, the dip net and the
lift net. The dip net shapes like a square and is usually lowered at the
bottom of the pond and then lifted as fast as possible.
4. Total Drainage – The pond is drained of its water and a long fish net is
used to catch fish.

 Tips in Harvesting/Capturing Fish
1.Tilapia can be harvested after three to four months of feeding.
2.Milkfish can be harvested after seven to ten months of feeding. 3.
Catfish can be harvested between four to six months of feeding.
Ways in Capturing Fish
1.Total pond harvest is accomplished by draining and seining.
2.The pond is partially drained (20-30 %) to concentrate the fish. 3.The
pond is repeatedly seined until most (80%) of the fish are captured.
4.The pond is drained further and seining is continued.
Marketing the Farm Produce
Here are some ways to market your farm produce:
1.Direct farm sales You can sell animal or fish by-products directly from your farm.
This is a very convenient way to generate income since there is no extra cost for
rent. All your selling transactions can be done within your farm.
2.Farmers market/livestock auction market as an animal raiser/farm operator, you
should be on the lookout for events such as livestock auction markets or similar
events in your area where people from nearby provinces come to buy livestock
direct from raisers themselves.
3.Farm to market Some farming families or entrepreneurs also have meat shop or fish
stall in the nearby wet market to sell their own animal products.
4.Restaurants One possible livestock client can be the nearby restaurants in your
area. You could establish “suki” system.
5.Selling through the internet Due to the wide coverage of the internet, aside from
placing page 118-119advertisements on different websites, you could also use
social Page 118 119media to market your animal and fish farm products and
services.
6.Selling through middlemen There are entrepreneurs and there
are people who work with entrepreneurs to make deals with other entrepreneurs,
resellers, and dealers. These are called middlemen. Middlemen are people who
buy goods from animal and fish raisers and sells them to retailers or other
consumers.

Marketing Pork, Beef And By-Products

Today, there is a great demand for meat like pork and beef. Pork and beef
are sold in the following forms: fresh, frozen, choice cuts, and cured as in tocino,
tapa, longganisa, and hotdogs. Cow’s milk is packed as fresh milk, evaporated
milk, powdered milk, or used as ingredient for cheese, butter, yogurt, ice cream,
pastillas, and leche flan and other dessert products.

Marketing Fish and By-Product
Fish is sold in the market wholesale or retail. It is sold in various form such
as live , fresh , frozen, choice cut, preserved as in dried fish or “tuyo “, “ daing”,
“tinapa” and canned or bottled. For retail selling , fish is sold by kilo, by piece, or
in small batches. For wholesale selling, it is sold in large containers. Retailers
usually buy wholesale in fish ports like Navotas. They buy their catch fish in
“baneras” or styro boxes. One way of buying is through “ bulungan “. This is a
kind of bidding process where the price, a buyer is willing to pay, is whispered to
the middleman or the person in-charge. Usually, the highest bidders gets the catch.

It is advisable to know the present market price of the products to be sold to

be sure not to lose money in the process. Live animals are usually sold according to
weight. The price depends upon the present rate per kilo, live or not.

Therefore, it is very important to record your expenses and sales. This will
help you, as an animal raisers, to know weather there is gain or loss in the
business venture.

With the assumption that labor is free since work is done by

members of the family.
