Am contemplating working for an aquaculture company in Malaysia. Anyone in the aquaculture industry here?

The company I'm aiming for is doing mariculture (open sea cages)

on the side note, im planning to start breeding tilapia for sale, any heads-up from sifus here?

My 2 cents:
- have a proper business plan first
- know your budget
- know who to sell to and how much
- calculate overall cost, both capex and opex
- calculate your ROI
- find good location/partner
- talk with other tilapia breeders to have a feel of the market and species

thank you.

still in the process of planning, planning to invest around 20k (10k each) together with my partner, as i have my own land and have a few ready ponds but im planning to start out with 1  which is slightly bigger than a football field, depth will be around 2-3 feet, will be using netting but im worried about hydrogen sulfate, talked to 1 of the behn meyer supplier and was told to drain all the water (which i think will be kinda difficult with the amount of water inside and also im abit worry that might take a long time to fill up again, previously it took 3 months for the underground water to fill the whole pond up) and dig many 30cm holes and insert the chemical to avoid the gas for leeching

My 2 cents again:
1. I will source for other water sources and do canal
2. I wont choose such a big pond, harder to handle
3. I will line my pond in hdpe
4. I will get an expert in tilapia farming and come visit and see viability
5. If I'm looking for POC, I will partition the pond into small size and put in medium stocking density to see whether fish can survive and grow or not

Very dangerous if you are not sure whether fish can grow or even fish can't be eaten without high trace elements due to unknown and unverified water sources

Just my 2 cents
