Getting omena

A friend talked to me on Whatsapp, before 6am in the morning.

Early morning dialogue

Yes, my friend, yes.

Omena are small fish that we feed our fish with instead of the commercial feeds.

Fishers go out early in the morning and come back with their catch at dawn.

They catch the tiny fish omena with special nets and using lights.

Fishermen returning from nightly fishing in Viktoria lake.

For the natural taste which fish in the lake have we find it necessary to also feed our fish with natural feeds to make them have that good taste. It also helps to reduce the cost to feed the fish with different types of feeds, since the commercial feeds are very expensive as compared to local feeds. Natural feeds also help to grow the fish faster and bigger.


That is how we do, on our fish farming project, in Rusinga island.
