University Extension offices have the best information. I don't know where you're based, but I'm based in FL so I'm attaching links to UFs extension programs. They have lots of papers & info on aquaculture there that can help. \n\nThe second link is to UF's publications on aquaculture & have a lot of good info!\n\nGood Luck!

uve  not made up ur mind yet. U have to choose eirther being a good reader or a dull headed  lad.  U an force a cow to the stream, u cant force it to drink water. No bodys solution will do the work, its self determination and willingness to be  an Efico.

Noone will teach you how to be a consistenly profitable trader, unless you can find a mentor who's a successful trader him/herself. Go to http://www.elitetrader.com for the list of books and reviews among other things.

Okay here goes.First thing you need is great insect repellent to spray yourself completely to keep the nasty bugs away.Buy the strongest sun screen to protect your skin.Wear a hat to ward off sun/heat stroke.Buy 6 bottles of water and a cooler with ice to keep them cold.Make yourself some snack foods for lunch and for the munchies.I also brought hand wipes to clean the worm gunk and fish smell off my hands.Buy a cheap but good rod and real with a small tackle box filled with all the little goodies you may need.Remember above all if the fish is smaller than your hand throw the poor thing back into the water so it can grow some more.

I used to keep fish. Goldfish to start with, along with Black Mollys, then got into tropical fish and then a salt water tank. It's a lot of work though, and can take up a lot of space, especially with a bigger tank and the equipment needed for a bigger tank. You want them to have enough space so they're not overcrowded.\n\nGoldfish are pretty easy and there are many ready-to-feed foods (flakes for example) for goldfish in pet stores. Get a book about goldfish (or other fish) or do research on line. Online might be best as the information would likely be more current.\n\nOther examples of "easier" fish and what they eat are:\n\n"GUPPY (Poecillia reticula):\nMiddle America: Prolific breeders. Males are very colorful. Active and peaceful. Livebearer.\nFoods: Flake Food. \n\nBLACK MOLLY (Poecillia sphenops):\nMexico to Venezuela: Suitable for beginners. Active, peaceful, eat algae. Prefers hard water. For propagation, breeding traps are recommended. Livebearer.\nFoods: Flake Food. \n\nSWORDTAIL (Xiphophorus helleri):\nMexico, Guatemala: Easy to maintain, but prospers only with varied diet. Livebearer.\nFoods: Flake Food, Color Food, BloodWorms. \n\nPLATY (Xiphophorus macalatus):\nMexico, Guatemala: Essential for beginners. Brings life and color to the aquarium. Livebearer.\nFoods: Flake Food, Color Food, BloodWorms. \n\nPEPPERED CATFISH (Corydoras paleatus):\nMiddle Amazon: Peaceful, charming bottom dweller. Feels more comfortable in an aquarium with small gravel or fine sand. Will clean up leftover food from the bottom. Scavenger.\nFoods: Tablets, Granules. \n\nSUCKERMOUTH (Plecostomus punctatus):\nAmazon: Peaceful bottom dweller. Prefers to eat at night, therefore, add one Tablet per large fish before turning off the lights. Scavenger.\nFoods: Tablets, Granules."\n\n-- http://home.ivillage.com/pets/birdssmallpets/0,,30n7,00.html

Making Boilies\nMaking boilies is not as difficult as some anglers would have you believe. Although ready-made or shelf life boilies are extremely effective and do catch a great number of carp, making boilies will improve your catches, save you money and can be fun. Many serious carp anglers would not consider using ready mades and insist on making their own. Their argument being that by using only fresh ingredients, which will be more acceptable to the carp, your catch rates will increase dramatically. The other argument in favour of home made boilies is of course cost. Making a reasonable sized batch of your own boilies, especially if you share the cost with a friend, can save a good deal of expense, and once you have some of the basic tools and flavours in stock, they become increasingly cheaper with each batch. \n\nSo here is a quick guide to get you started in the art of boilie making. With practice you will soon be making baits that those carp just can't resist.\n\nWhat you need\nThe basic ingredients of any boilie are a good base mix, ½ a dozen eggs, flavourings, colourings and maybe sweetener. You will also find the job a lot easier if you have available a bait gun and a rolling table. Although these are not essentials, they will save a lot of time, mess and hassle. Other pieces of equipment you will require are a mixing bowl, a fork, whisk or electric mixer, a syringe, kitchen scales, saucepan, metal sieve and an air drying tray in which to finish off the baits. A clean surface on which to work with the equipment laid out ready will help you to complete the job more easily. \nMix it up\nBefore going into much detail, the rule here is to always mix the dry ingredients together in one container, and the wet ingredients in another. That said, let' sstart with the dry. Place the required amount of base mix into your mixing bowl. For half a dozen eggs, this will probably be 16 oz, but you can always add a little more later if needed. Most mixes will come with mixing instructions from the manufacturer, so always follow these. Add any powdered additives such as sweetener, about ½ a teaspoon of each usually, but again, follow instructions on the container. Mix this well, ensuring that all of the additives are well incorporated into the base mix. Now in a separate bowl, mix the liquid ingredients. First crack open the eggs and place in a large mixing bowl. Now add your liquid flavours. Use a syringe and measure the exact quantity stated. Never overdo it, even if you can't smell it, it is there, and even slightly too much flavour can repel the carp rather than attract them. Now whisk the eggs and flavours very thoroughly or the flavour will not be evenly distributed amongst your finished baits. \nBring it together\nNow add the powdered ingredients to the egg mix, slowly stirring together with a fork as you gradually add more powder. An electric mixer can be used here if you prefer, but do start it off on a slow speed, or your ingredients will end up everywhere. Keep adding the base mix and form a paste which is just sticky to the touch but not too dry or your baits will split. If you find the mix sticking to your hands, a little cooking oil on them will stop it happening. \nReady, load, fire\nNow is the time to load the paste into your bait gun. First roll it into a sausage shape that fits into the gun. Squeeze the bait out of the gun across your rolling table, forming 3 thin sausage shapes. Place the top of the table over the baits and roll it backwards and forwards a few times. Lift it off again and you should have a batch of raw boilies. If the paste sticks to the table, you need to add more powder next time. If you don't have a rolling table and gun, you are going to be there for a while as you hand roll each bait into a ball. \nPrepare to boil\nNow boil your water and have ready a metal sieve. Placing few baits at a time into the sieve, dunk it into the water. About 30 baits at a time is good depending on

To succesfully fill a freshwater takle box you will need the following: Hooks-some small for crappie,blue gill (sunfish) etc. some larger for Catfish - read the packages the should specify which hooks are good for which fish species. You will need some bass jigs and I recomend getting a Mepp's spinner kit. These kits usually contain several different types of rooster tail spinner baits and are excellent for crappie and blue gill fishing.\nYou should also look into getting some bait casters these are good for bass fishing. As all good takle boxes contain bobbers or corks whichever you decide to call them. You should get some different types of spinner baits and several different jigs just to mix things up a bit. After getting these thing you need to make sure you have some split shot and or some type of weight. 1oz weights will be good for most conditions but you may want to get several different weights ranging between 1/2 to 2oz. A good set of needle nose plyers is a must have-They have helped me out many times! A knife or pair of finger nail clippers is also good to have for little things such as trimming you string after tying on a hook (or a broken finger nail) They just come in handy. I always keep either water proof matches or a cigarette lighter in mine just in case and a package or two of crackers or some sort of light snack that way if I get into a mess of fish I don't have to leave when I get hungry. These are just a few things I keep in mine. I know I have more in there but I can't tell you everything with out looking.

Find a LEGAL activity you're passionate in and apply it commercially. The better skilled we are in particular activity, the more the "hard work" is taken out from it.\n\nFrom there, we can harness our driven desire to further that activity into a productive commercial business and reap it's rewards: it's just THAT simple!\n\nDave Thomas, Colonel Harland Sanders and Emeril Lagasse: three chefs of radically different culinary generes.

A friend of mine has a Sicilian mother who has spoken of leaving fish for her enemies as some sort of curse. Just plant them in the garden, they will enrich the soil.

The best thing that you can do is to get an internship or volunteer at an aquarium.  You will get alot of hands on experience and that will put you far ahead of all of the people who just got a degree in Marine Biology.  It is one thing to remember everything you learned in school, but showing that you know how to put it to use is the best skill that you can have.
