• How to Farm Catfish : ...
This video describes the aquaculture process using the channel catfish as an example.
What was that filter that goes on the net? We farm catfish here in california and just use a net with the “basket” on the back that can be detached after funneling all the fish in there, but that filter would save a lot of time sorting the too small ones out
It was a live car that had a bar grader in it that was designed for hybrid catfish that have a slightly different shape (smaller head, broader shoulders) than channel catfish. You can learn more about it in this video. czcams.com/video/-EF6eldkrps/video.html
Excellent informative video. Do people use catfish for aquaponics?
Thanks for your comment. Sometimes catfish are used in aquaponics but they can be difficult to acclimate to a tank environment. If you can find tank raised fish you should be fine. But, if fish were raised in a pond and put in a tank they will often bump into the sides and get scraped up leaving an opening for bacterial infection. In general we do not recommend catfish for theses systems. Hope this helps.
David Cline thank you very much. If I tried this I would try it with a few fingerlings and letting them grow into the tank.
@@clinedj1 Hey David. I dont have a big pond but I have ovaprim. Do you know anything about hormone induced spawning?
@@skynema There are several good publications available from the Southern Regional Aquaculture Center. Just google SRAC Fact Sheets and then type induced spawning into the search box on the page. Here are several of the pubs...Hope this helps
