• 00:05:00 This YouTube video demonstrates how to cultivate Tilapia in floating cages. The first phase of the project involves installing six cages, and also includes the purchase of all necessary equipment and materials. The second phase of the project is the installation of additional six cages, for a total of 12 cages, as well as the installation of a floating dock for the daily activities in an installation located near a dam. This project will require an investment of 150,000 pesos (approximately $2,600 USD) in equipment and materials for the first phase, and an additional 1,200,000 pesos (approximately $30,000 USD) for the second phase. The Tilapia production kit will cost 10,000 pesos (approximately $160 USD). The producers will also need a water analysis kit, which costs 10,000 pesos (approximately $160 USD). The producers will need to check water levels and monitor oxygen levels with an oxygen meter, which costs 5,000 pesos (approximately $80 USD). The first phase of the project will require the purchase of 32,400 Tilapia fry, which will cost 1.2 cents per fry, or 38,800 pesos (approximately $1,640 USD). The total investment for the first phase of
• 00:10:00 This video shows how to raise tilapia in floating cages. The value of the project is 14,988,936 pesos. The equipment used includes fishing nets, chinchorros, and weighing scales. The project costs 2,000 pesos to set up and 210,994 pesos in materials and equipment. It is important to have at least two people working on the project, one during the day and one at night. Their salaries should be 250 pesos per day, which would total 1,500,000 pesos per year. In total, the project would cost 3,000,000 pesos, including the salaries of the two workers. Furthermore, the project would need to spend 1,500,000 pesos on fish feed, 1,500,000 pesos on construction of the floating cage, and 2,000,000 pesos on keeping the fish healthy.
