Catfish Sellers Lament Over Challenges
The Lagos State Catfish
Association of Nigeria (LASCAFAN), has said the peculiar nature of Lagos State had prevented them from using motorcycle engines to provide water in their ponds.
The association’s president, Mr Rotimi Omodehin, told newsmen in Lagos that the technology worked better in a nine-metre depth well.
Omodehin said that wells in some parts of the state like Agege and Oke-Aro and some areas in Ikorodu were very deep and depended on boreholes.
“The machines used for shallow depths are from motorcycles, they work better in shallow ponds and on wells of about nine metres deep.
“Some wells in Lagos are very deep like in Agege, Oke-aro and some parts of Ikorodu and because of this, fish farmers depend on boreholes.
