*FISH BOOSTER*

A booster is any substance that help to achieve your target result in a lesser time than normal.
It has a similar function as a catalyst which help to speed up chemical reactions.

For fish, a business minded farmer would want to achieve result faster while spending less on feed and other fish Farming expenses.

However, in desperation to hit target on time many farmer has met loses instead. Sometimes all their fish will be wiped out at once. Fraud has prey on the desperate to produce fake and sometimes poisonous substances calling them fish growth booster.

In actual sense, it is very unethical practice to feed fish with substances that will boost growth but when they are consumed by humans, they deposit toxic substances in them.

Because of such unhealthy practice, the chances for Nigeria and other Africa countries to export processed fish to developed countries keep getting minimal. The developed world won’t want to harm their citizens. They take the life of their citizens seriously.

Meanwhile, what does the actual fish booster do?

Many have heard the myth of accelerating the growth of fish “magically” without feed or less feed just by giving booster to the fish in the pond. This has gone on and still going on in many parts of the world where they are not enlightened.

But studies has shown that the actual and *original fish booster DO NOT PROMOTE GROWTH DIRECTLY.*
What booster does is enable the fish to create appetite to eat.
And if you feed your fish quality feed, in right quantity, then the growth will be encouraging.
Again, do not forget the place of clean water. Clean water promote healthy feeding and growth too.

In conclusion, avoid Superman approach to fish farming business. Avoid magical growth booster too.
Follow the process and get your desired result.

A well regulated industry will check the current “magical solution” or “super fast growth booster/promoters” in the market and ban them.
The industry needs sanity, and unless we cooperate, we may not achieve this sanity.
