CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION Student industrial work experience scheme (siwes) aim, is to enhance student to be viable in the area of practical also it was introduced to achieve the practical skill needed as a technologist in fulfillment of the requirement for the award of ordinary national diploma (OND). The involvement of the industrial training fund (ITF), the government/ private institution and the industrial ensures that student in various disciplines partake in industrial training. during this period, the student are expected to take part and be exposed to the activities involved in the establishment to which they are attached.
This report shows my industrial training experience at fabumi memorial high school.

1.1 OBJECTIVES OF SIWES

The objectives of SIWES are to:
,
i. Expose student to the working method and techniques in handing requirement and machines that may not be available in their institution ii. Prepare the student for the working situation to be encountered after school; iii. Promote and strengthen employer’s involvement in the entire education process of preparing students for employment in industries iv. Enlighten student on the pit – falls avoid in the business world as well as to maximize profit.
v. Sex and control standard of excellence and effectiveness and offer direct training of professional, technicians, technologists and entrepreneurs to meet the human resources needs for rapid industrialization and sustainable economic development of Nigeria

1.2 IMPORTANCE OF SIWES REPORT
The important of SIWES can be itemized as follows i. It serves as a guide and reference material to studies and research in various institutions ii. It helps to encourage students to be more committed to their academics iii. It put into practice the fundamental requirement of the Technical Report writing iv. It broadens the students view in relation to their course of study.

2.0 FISH PRODUCTION Fish production is one of the most ancient professions which include thousands of appropriate tools aimed at catching fish. The include fin fish and other aquatic vertebrate such as crocodiles ,sea turtles (which are reptiles), whales, dolphins (mammals) and aquatic invertebrates notably shrimps, crabs lobsters, oysters and cattle fish (mollusks).

2.1 DEFINITION OF FISH FARMING Fish faming is the growing selected species of fish stating from fingerling, post fingerlings or juvenile under scientifically controlled condition in enclosed water bodies such as ponds, lakes, reservoirs, tanks, stream, rives etc of any receptacle that can hold adequate volume of water 2.2 NEED FOR FISH FARMING Man had been engaged in fish farming for the following purpose 1. It is cheaper and more reliable method of producing fish 2. It provides fish for man livestock 3. It reduces high blood pressure in man when considerably consumed 4. It converts to useful purpose land otherwise not suitable for any other from of agriculture e. g swamps land, burrow pits 5. It is easy to practice by people, even the aged (old ones) 6. It is easy to practice within living environment. 7. It provide employment and income to many people 8. It generates foreign exchange to a nation especially when fish are exported to other countries. 9. Fish can be processed into fish products such as fish meal, fish oil manure and skin. 10. It provide a means of recycling wastes e. g animal dung from farm factory and sewage disposal system
2.3 CLASSIFICATION OF FISH
Fish can be classification based on their
i. Habitat ii. Body structure Under habitat we have salt water fishes, and fresh water fishes include: tunas, mackerel, eel shark, snake, ray etc these are fish that live in water that contain salt e. g ocean and sea.
Fresh water fishes: these are the fish that lives inside water that contain no salt e.g rives, stream, ponds spring etc the fish (ES) present are; trout, carp, perch, tilapia, mud fish etc
Under body structure fishes can be grouped into bony fishes: these are fishes that posses bony skeleton. Examples include tilapia, mudfish, carps, trouts, catfish, salomon perch etc. the second class of fish under body structure are cartilaginous fishes; these fishes posses soft bones comprised of cartilages majority of them are found in salt water e.g shark, dolphin, rays etc.
2.4 SITE SELECTION The primary physical factor to be considered in site selection for fish include:
i. adequate water supply (Hydrology): A constant supply of good quality and quantity of water must be available. ii. soil condition : two aspects of soil quality are important ; a. fertility and b. ability of the soil to return water.
The fertility of the soil should be adequate enough so as supply nutrients to the fish.
Clay soil is referred in most cases because of its ability to hold water \ iii. topography : the ideal site for fish pond construction is land that is fairly flat. i. vegetation: the vegetation of the area has to be considered, low vegetation especially grassland are preferred. ii. available of fast growing fish iii. available of feed: conventional and unconventional feeds should be readily available
3.5 types of ponds These are different types of ponds which include; 1. production pond 2. brooder pond 3. plankton pond 4. fingerlings pond 5. experimental pond 6. spawning pond
3. 51 pond preparation These following operations are normally carried out when preparing a fish pond. 1. site selection 2. survey of the site and mapping out 3. remove all trees, stumps and other bedris from the site 4. construction of dam, spill way and excavation 5. add topsoil rich in hums. 6. liming: adding of limestone or calcium (cac03) at the rate 500 kg/ha this reduces acidity of pond water and encourage the growth of plankton (fish pond). Allow this to remain for 1-2 weeks. 7. important and fertility application of pond.(1) introduction of water into the pond (ii) fertilize the pond,this can be done with poultry dropping at the rate of 200kg/ha. Inorganic fertilizer e. g N. P. K. 15:15:15 can be used at the rate of 200kg/ha. The water should be allowed to remain in the pond for 2 weeks.
3.52 pond stocking This is the introduction of required fingerlings or fries (baby fish) into the pond. The pond could be stocked with claria, gariepinus, tilapia, zillis heterobranchus spp and chrysichthys nigrodigetus.
There are two types of stocking in Nigeria
Monoculture: culturing of one specie in a pond
Poly culture: culturing of two or more species in a pond
Note
The fingerlings should not be poured directly into the pond, the container containing the fingerlings should be placed gently into water and the fingerlings should be allowed to swim into the pond
3.6 food and mode of feeding After stocking of pond with fish, the need to fish becomes very necessary. feeding could be by the use of formulated pellet feeds or local raw material and feed stuff.
The fish can feed on phytoplankton and zooplankton that are available in the pond
The fish must be fed twice daily from selected points. Spot feeding or broadcasting method can be adopted during feeding.
Gear selection and harvesting (cropping)
Fishing gears are grounped into two
A. passive gear:
