Catfish Breeding Anthony Adefarakan

Fish farmers around the world are faced with various challenges, part of which is procuring good and viable fish seeds. Many farmers have in times past fallen victim of procuring bad fish seeds, leading to failure as those seeds either died or refused to grow. This could be attributed to bad parent stocks, poor water management, poor stocking density, poor feeding etc. on the producers' part except for those from farms with credibility which perform well and grow to good sizes. In solving this problem once and for all, it is necessary for fish farmers to start producing their own fish seeds (with all the needed care) for effective production, and this is what this handbook offers. It is written in such a way that the farmer who is interested in hatching their own fishes can do so without necessarily being monitored or supervised, hence the name "Do-It-Yourself" guide. The pictures used are deliberately included for easy perception of the whole process. With this guide at your disposal, you are fully armed for catfish seed production.
