Freshwater Fish Egg Incubators II

There are at least 3 types of fish incubators presently used in Philippine aquaculture namely:

1)      Bed type incubator- this is commonly used for the hatching of adhesive type fish eggs like the Asian and African Catfish and Pangasius. With the addition of a substrate for egg attachment like a bunched yarn,  “kakaban” or water lily roots, the same bed type incubator are used for the hatching of Common Carp, Japanese koi, and goldfish.

Efficient hatchery operations of either freshwater or marine fish species are the first step to a feasible aquaculture operation. Inadequate supply or unavailability of fish seeds for stocking the grow-out facilities will only make the aquaculture business non-viable.

Fish egg development and hatchlings are the most sensitive stages in the life cycle of a fish. It is therefore important that great care must be given to provide them with the best incubation and hatching conditions such as water quality, temperature and water flow to ensure their highest hatching rate and survival.
