Looks like you are interested in becoming a fish farmer.

Many people have entered aquaculture without realising they are starting a business.
It’s not just a “side line”, it’s a business on its own.
You need to consider; do you have the time to manage a new business?
Do you have the necessary skills to grow fish?
Do you have the time and commitment to learn a new skill?
