GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND INVESTMENT COST
OF A 500 HA GROW-OUT FARM

I - DESCRIPTION OF THE FACILITIES

A - Ponds

50 grow-out ponds of 10 ha (220 m × 455 m) each (the exact surface of each pond is adapted to the site topography) and 20 pregrowing ponds. All the ponds are earth made in digging and filling.

B - Pumping station

Marine or brackish water is directly supplied into the farm by a pumping station (52 000 m3/h). The daily water renewal rate is about 10 % of the ponds volume. A network of earth made channels supplies by gravity the water from the pumping station to the rearing ponds.

C - Buffer water volume

Buffer facilities are necessary between the pumping station and the rearing ponds. They will allow :

1st : As settling pond to reduce the silt content in the water (about 12 hours of settling are necessary).

2nd : To reduce the range of salinity variations inside of the rearing ponds.

In relation to the exact site topography, these buffer facilities will consist of :

- Either the main water supply channel,

- Or a specific settling pond (upstream of the ponds).

In that latter case, chicanes will be installed in the pond. They will increase the period of passage of the water and, thus, will improve the settling efficiency.

D - Housings and buildings

- One general operation building with :

-- Workshop and store,

-- Food storage,

-- Ice making plant,

-- packaging hall,

-- Office, wc, laboratory.

- One housing building for 50 workers, including one canteen for the whole staff ;

- One house with 2 flats.

E - Equipments and vehicles

- Technical equipments such as diesel power generators (for the buildings but also mobile units for fishing operations, etc…) and one ice making plant (500 kg/day) for brackish water.

- Laboratory equipments.

- Vehicles and operation equipments such as :

-- Agricultural tractors with loading platforms,

-- Small bulldozers for a regular cleaning of the ponds and the maintenance of the dikes,

-- Motorcycles,

-- A dredger for the maintenance of the settling pond and channels.

- Boats such as :

-- 2 barges (40 to 50 H.P.) for the logistic needs between Paramaribo and the farm site,

-- 55 light boats (5 H.P.) for feed supply in the ponds.

- Various miscellaneous equipments such as nets, scales, fish boxes, etc…

II - INVESTMENT COSTS ESTIMATE AND PLANNING

- All costs in S. Fl.
- Basis November 1986
- 1 US $ = 1,8 S.F1.
