fish farming

[Itwasthisbig]

i need a lot of help with this one because im looking to start up a fish farm to stock up local dams i live in bathurst nsw and i would not have the slightest where to start. what im looking for is the cost for setting up the operation, the types of fish suitable for farming and the market available. even links to websites would help a great deal

all help appreciated

The first place to contact would be NSW's equivalent to Qlds department of Primary Industries. Maybe even check their website if they have one. There would also be short weekend courses run through some of the states uni's and or TAFEs but the state gov. dep. should know more about it. Atleast there some of the options available to us in Qld, I am assuming it would be the same in NSW.

Hope that helps a little.

Cheers

Simon.
