Summary

This publication was designed to inform the general public about the catfish industry and to help prospective and existing catfish producers make rational investment and operational decisions for commercial scale farms. It highlights some of the difficulties, complexities, risks, and opportunities of catfish farming. Catfish farming is one of the most intensive forms of large-scale agriculture practiced today. It requires considerable capital investment, and it is a high-risk venture not suited to everyone.
