The training looked at the advantages of tilapia fish farming, the biology and life cycle of tilapia, fingerlings stocking, how to produce fish feed from readily available ingredients, fish farm management, book-keeping and handling/harvesting of mature fish with integrated fish and poultry farming.

Part of the training included practical sessions where participants visited some fish ponds in the district and were shown how to clean and maintain these ponds properly. The weekly and monthly cleaning of the ponds is necessary to ensure the health of the fishes and plants and the quality of water coming into the pond.
