    Betta Ornamental Fish Farm in Thailand

    Uploaded by

    Seers
    This project proposes establishing a betta fish farm in Phuket Province, Thailand to provide an alternative source of income for small-scale fishermen. The project would produce 10,000 betta fish in its first year through breeding and raising fry obtained from a dealer. Four technicians would manage bottle containers and provide food and aeration. Over 10 cycles the farm aims to produce 100,000 fish annually for an estimated gross sale of $400,000 and net income of $147,695, providing a 58.53% return on the $252,305 total investment. The farm would help address limitations in coastal fishery resources and lack of alternative livelihoods for local fishermen.
