ZNZ will provide training facilities to the people of other states to make the research and training programme more meaningful. ZNZ has designed the perfect course for those who are wanting a good foundation knowledge in Aquaculture. For those wanting to set up an aquaculture business, this training is also ideal, giving you the ability to independently analyses and make decisions about the management of an aquaculture business. The major areas we will cover in this training are

• Fish Hatchery and Nursing
• Fish Farming (Floating Cage)
• Use of SMART Technology to reduce manpower and operate farming system automatically through all over the world.
• Mono Sex Technology (Convert all male onto Female or vice versa)
• Feed Manufacturing

As naturally occurring fish stocks are increasingly under pressure, the demand for farmed fish is growing at an alarming rate. This training provides a foundation for farming any sea water fish. Though (due to time constraints) it is limited in the range of fish species covered; in covering a diverse range of species this course lays down the principles as a foundation that will set the people up to better understand and tackle the farming of almost any type of Sea water fish or crustacean.

There are following lessons in the training, these are as follows:

1. Introduction To Aquaculture

Fish farming is an ideal occupation for many people because it does not require a lot of formal education or training. However, there are some skills that are necessary for success in fish farming. The first is an understanding of the biology of the fish you are raising. This includes knowing what they eat, how they reproduce, and what conditions are necessary for their health. The second skill is an understanding of aquaculture, which is the science of raising fish in captivity. This includes knowing how to build and maintain ponds and other aquaculture facilities, as well as how to care for the fish themselves. Finally, it is important to have good business sense in order to be successful in fish farming. This includes knowing how to market your product and make a profit.
