Prevention is the most effective measures to reduce the risk of pests and diseases tilapia. Because when pests and diseases has been attacked, mitigation costs will be greater.
There are several ways you can do to prevent pests and diseases tilapia, including:
Processing of the pond, which is drying, liming and fertilization. Drying is done by drying the bottom of the pool each time to start cultivation. Sunlight can kill most of the pests and diseases that may exist in the previous cultivation period. Liming bottom of the pond also helps turn off most diseases. For more details please read pond preparation for fish farming.
Replacing the filter or strainer in water intake door to prevent most pest and disease vector into the pond.
Perform routine mechanical pest control (captured or killed) and biological pest control (maintaining the natural predators of pests). If the pest remains stubborn can be considered using chemical drugs.
Use tilapia superior seeds that are resistant to disease. Seedlings should be obtained from reliable sources, such as R & D R & D-fishing.
Reducing the density of fish in order to avoid direct contact between fish. With the scarcity of population, the levels of dissolved oxygen in the pond water will be more.
Give feed with the right dose to avoid the accumulation of food remains in the pond. The rest of the feed will decompose thus lowering the quality of the pool environment and become breeding places of germs.
Do handling fish carefully at the time of stocking or displacement between the pond, so that the fish does not hurt that trigger infection.
If the preventive measures already undertaken and pest persists, do the new pest eradication and treatment of disease by using chemical drugs. Remember, giving chemicals will bring other side effects.
Treatment of the disease can be done by giving the chemicals in the pool, soak the sick fish, mix the drug with the feed, or give the drug directly to the body of the fish.
