Fingerlings
At the moment we sell Tanganyika tilapia fingerlings (Oreochromis tanganicae) through The Tanganyika Aquahub in Kipili at Lake Tanganyika. The fish is endemic to Lake Tanganyika and is the only allowed species to be farmed in the lake’s vicinity. Per fingerling we charge 200 TZS.
Fish Feed
Feed is still a big constraint in the aquaculture sector in Tanzania as there is no high-quality production facility of commercial fish feeds in the country. If you are in need of commercial fish feed (floating pellets) we can help you to import it or find existing importers. However, current prices of high-quality fish feed are very high at around 3’000-3’700 TZS/kg (1.30-1.60 USD/kg) for grow-out feed and up to 5’000-6’000 TZS/kg (2.15-2.60 USD/kg) for starter feed.
If you want to farm in ponds (not cages or RAS in tanks) we advice you to consider the production of your own feeds on your farm. We are happy to assist you with that and show you how to do it and find a suitable feed formula that is cost-effective depending on the available raw materials in your region.
