High-Intensity Raceway Production Could Put Catfish Producers in the Fast Lane

Pages 2 Pages

An experimental, high-intensity raceway production system designed by researchers at Auburn University could drive Alabama producers’ catfish production costs – currently well above 70 cents per pound – down to about 50 cents by improving feed and energy efficiency. Carefully managing fish in tightly populated raceways could yield 25,000 to 35,000 pounds of catfish per acre per year, more than three times the state’s average of 8,000 po
