Site selection is an important factor in the success of a fish farm but the ideal site is usually not available to poorer families. Site location will be dependent on a number of factors:
• The fish species being raised.
• Soil quality, which affects water quality and productivity.
• An adequate supply of water.
• Land ownership.
• Marketplace and market conditions.
• Fish food and other inputs available to the farmer.
• Groups adjacent to water.
• More than 1 metre water retention capacity for at least 6 months of the year.
• Pollution free.
