Advantages of farming catfish
Catfish have a good feed conversion ratio (FCR). The Feed conversion ratio is the ratio of the feed consumed versus the weight gained. The feed conversion ratio of catfish is 1.2. This means for every 1.2 kgs of feed consumed, catfish gain 1 kg of weight. This means when you are feeding catfish, you will eventually get the value for feed given.
Catfish can survive in poor-quality water. After the fingerling stage, catfish can survive poor quality water without the need for filtration or aeration for a long time.
Catfish have a high survival rate after the fingerling stage—catfish, once they pass the fingerling stage.
Catfish have a high fillet yield. Most of the fillet sold in the market is from catfish, because of the high meat yield.
Catfish have a short maturity period under good management practices
