STOCKING PONDS
Putting fish into the pond, stocking, marks the beginning of a production cycle. It is among the most stressful processes the fish go through in the course of production. The process of stocking referred to here,starts with the collection of fingerlings from the hatchery, transporting them to the farm and, finally, putting them into the pond. Poor stocking procedures, are among the major causes of low survival in grow-out ponds.
They result in disease, reduced growth and mortality. However, because the ensuing mortalities do not occur normally until after about three days, and many of the fish that die do not actually come up to the surface, many farmers do not recognize it as a serious factor.

Upon draining the pond the farmer often experiences many fewer fish than the number stocked. This makes most farmers think the fish were either stolen, predated upon or the said number was not received. Farmers who do not realize that most of their fish died within the week following stocking, tend to overfeed and can lose a lot of money
