Fish farming is an industry that depends on the weather. Of course you can make money, but losing money also happens. Nowadays, many friends want to return to the countryside to farm, raise chickens and fish, thinking that it is easy and profitable. Just like in the question, if you invest 200,000 in fish farming, how much money can you make in a year?

200,000 yuan is not necessarily enough to invest in fish farming

For those who want to raise fish, 200,000 yuan can hardly do much, especially if you want to raise some special fish , the annual photovoltaic fee can consume most of this money for you. In fact, the cost of raising fish is very high. Of course, if you build a small fish pond and raise some four major species of fish, you don’t need much money to mow the grass, catch snails and feed them yourself.

Fish farming requires a lot of investment. Let me give you a simple calculation:

To raise fish, you first need to have a fish pond. We don’t need to make it too big, 10 acres is enough. , pond rents vary greatly in different regions. We calculate the pond rent as medium at 600 yuan/mu, and 10 acres is 6,000 yuan per year.

Seedlings. Since I have relatively little contact with the four major species of fish, I only come into contact with some special fish, and the price of the fry is relatively high. Of course, there are differences in different regions. We calculate based on the California bass which has been particularly popular in recent years. If the density of stocking in 10 acres is lower, it is calculated as 30,000 fish, and about 35,000 seedlings are needed. Then the seedling cost is 3 hairs per large seedling, which means 10,000 yuan is needed here.

Electricity costs, due to different breeding cycles and different operating modes in different regions, the number of aerators is also different. We calculate based on 6 oxygen machines for 10 acres of fish ponds. The entire breeding cycle is 8 months. On average, 4 machines are operated every month. Each machine consumes 900 yuan of electricity per month, so the electricity bill is 28,800 yuan.

Feed Drugs and other inputs. Feed is the largest investment in the breeding process. We produce 30,000 fish, and an average of 1 jin is equivalent to 30,000 jins of fish. The feed coefficient is 1.2, which means that 36,000 jins of feed are needed, which is 18 tons. At present, California bass feed is almost 10,000 jins. About one ton, then the feed is 180,000, and the medicine is calculated as a low investment of 5,000.

Other inputs. We need various equipment during breeding, including water pumps, aerators, etc. We count 8,000 yuan, plus 2,000 yuan for labor and other miscellaneous items, totaling 10,000 yuan.

Let’s first calculate that the cost of the first step is about 239,800, which means 200,000 is not enough. This does not include the labor cost.

Profit Analysis

For this year’s California bass market, the market conditions are very good, but of course this only represents the present. So let’s simply calculate the profit. Since California sea bass takes a long time to fish out, the price will also be different. We will calculate it based on 16 yuan per pound.

Income: 30,000 catties of fish*16 yuan/catty=480,000 yuan

Profit: 480,000-23.98=240,200 yuan.

Seeing that many people here are not calm, the income of 240,000 yuan in 8 months is much better than working hard in the city. But don’t be too optimistic, because the market is unstable. This year is the best year in the past few years. Moreover, in this calculation process, we did not calculate the losses from various diseases. We did not calculate the losses if there are not all fish out that year. other costs incurred. For example, last year, many farmers suffered heavy losses due to diseases, and the prices were not good. Many people raised fish for about 8 yuan, which was just enough to cover the cost or even resulted in losses.

For some other fish, the profit is much lower, so breeding must be cautious.

Investing 200,000 yuan in fish farming does not guarantee that you will make money. The aquaculture project still has certain risks. Some people may invest 200,000 yuan in fish farming and double their profits in two years, or they may keep investing and eventually not even get back their capital.

What are the risks of aquaculture?

In some places where the rainy season is frequent and typhoons hit, aquaculture will be affected by bad weather. There is a danger of washing out the pond, which would be a fatal blow if that happened. Some farmers are too pursuing increasing production and constantly increasing breeding density. The water quality environment is not well regulated, which can easily cause sudden fish diseases. Such disease losses are also often encountered. When farming around some rivers with insufficient water sources and serious pollution, viral pollutants can easily be brought into the ponds through water circulation, causing adverse reactions to aquatic products. If you want to invest in aquaculture, you must take these risks into consideration.

If you want to make money from fish farming, you also need to look at the species of fish

In the aquaculture industry, an investment of 200,000 is not much, and it is basically a medium-sized investment. If you want to make money, the choice of fish species is crucial. Fish with good market prospects and easy survival have less risk. In recent years, the aquaculture industry has generally declined. For example, the grass carp species raised by many farmers have high total output, fierce competition, and prices have been very low. The current market for raising bighead carp is very stable, with little price fluctuation, and there are few disease problems during the breeding process, the survival rate is high, and the risks are much lower. If 100,000 yuan is invested in raising this fish species, the average net profit can reach about 47,000 yuan, which is obviously higher than other fish species.

Even if you invest 200,000 yuan in fish farming, you may not always make money

How much money you can make if you invest 200,000 yuan in fish farming, this value is a wide range, there may be more, less, or even none. , no matter what you do, there will be risks, and high investment does not necessarily mean high returns. In our hometown, there are fellow villagers who use the money they earn from working to engage in aquaculture and fish farming. When the fish are about to reach the fishing season, it rains heavily and continues for a week. As a result, the fish ponds are flooded and most of the fish are Washed away, in the end even the investment cost was not recovered.

Fish farming is a very hard work, and it takes a lot of time to take care of it to avoid problems and losses. The fact that some people can make money through fish farming has a lot to do with their farming technology and management work. Before investing in aquaculture, it is necessary to fully investigate and evaluate the feasibility, and then invest when the conditions are mature.

In fish farming, the output is not determined by how much money is invested. If the management is not good, and God will not help, it is possible to lose money.

It is not difficult to raise fish even if it is not difficult, it is not difficult to raise fish successfully, but it is difficult if it is not successful. It depends on the area of ??your fish pond, where the water source comes from, or whether there is incoming water. If a large amount of incoming water is needed in an emergency, will it have any impact? When raising fish, water is the hardware facility. As for what kind of fish to raise, it depends on your facilities.

As for your investment of 200,000, is it the fish pond rental, the fish fry payment, the renovation of the fish pond facilities, or is it all included in it, or is it a budget investment, etc.

In fact, you should calculate the budget for each item. Fry are the future output. If managed well, 70 to 80% of the output will be produced. If managed poorly, less than 50% will be produced. This does not include artificial water and electricity. and other miscellaneous expenses and all other expenses.

You also need to estimate market price fluctuations and unforeseen disasters such as natural and man-made disasters. Fish also suffer from fish plague. In short, you have to manage everything yourself. If you manage it well, you will get more output. With fewer people raising pigs, there are many more raising chickens, ducks and fish. I used to raise pigs and tilapia, but now that the pigs are gone, I do nothing. When I have time, I go to a place with the sea and shout, venting my anger makes me feel refreshed.

Earn good health

First lose money for three years before talking about making money

No one can say for sure. It is possible to lose everything, or to make five or six. Wan, it depends on your luck.

This industry depends on the weather. The most feared thing in our coastal areas is typhoons. If there is no typhoon, the income will be hundreds of thousands a year.

If we rely on traditional farming methods, we will earn 200,000 yuan.
