Fellowship Hall, St. Catherine
One of the largest freshwater aquaculture ventures on the island, this 108-acre fish farm has over 60 acres of ponds cultivating Red Tilapia. Sited on the south central plains of St Catherine, the farm is strategically located in an area widely recognized as one of the two major areas in Jamaica ideally suited for aquaculture. The soil has excellent water retention properties due to its high clay content; surrounding temperatures are generally high and stable; the delivery of adequate amounts of irrigation water is reliable; and there is a ready supply of experienced labour all conditions which greatly favour aquaculture production. The farm operates on the intensive culture system where the fish are fed and supplementary aeration put in, allowing the stocking density of fish in the ponds to be increased. This farm is among a small number of local producers having hatchery, nursery and grow-out facilities, and so is a major supplier of fingerlings to many of the smaller farmers. Correspondingly, there is a consistently high demand for food fish which ensures a ready market for the mature Tilapia. Currently, approximately twenty acres not in operation, but which can readily accommodate additional ponds as there is minimal need for land clearing and levelling. The property has road frontage on 2 sides providing easy access to either Highway 2000, or to the densely populated communities of urban St. Catherine. It comes equipped with a farmhouse, a sentry box and a 500 KVA generator, factors which all combine to make this undoubtedly, an economically attractive venture.
