Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study designed to evaluate the use of floating cages for rearing fingerling and subadult channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and fingerling brown bullheads (I. nebulosus) on a commercial basis in Oregon's Willamette Valley was conducted at a pond seven miles north of Corvallis, Oregon, from May 23 to October 17, 1970. Fish were stocked in 1.4 m3 floating cages at the rate of 150 fish/cage (110 fish/m3) and fed either a dry, floating feed (Purina Trout Chow) or a moist, sinking feed (Oregon Moist Pellet). Channel catfish were fed 3.0% of body weight/day. Brown bullheads were fed either 3.0 or 4.5% of body weight/day. Water temperature in the experimental pond was above 21 C for approximately 90 days in 1970. A season of 160-210 days of water temperatures over 21 C is usually required to grow catfish from fingerlings to a commercially-usable size of 340-570 g in one season. The fingerling channel catfish had an average weight of 96.4 g and an average fork. length of 195.3 mm at the termination of the experiment. Yield at the end of the experiment averaged 11.8 kg/cage and food conversion ratios averaged 1.9:1. There were no differences among the cages of fingerlings in yield, conversion ratio, or average weight and fork length. There were more small fish in cages where the fingerlings were fed the sinking diet than in the cages where the floating diet was fed. This was probably due to the restricted feeding area required for the sinking diet (a metal tray with a surface area of 0.4 m2), which caused more competition among the fish fed the sinking diet than probably occurred among the fish fed the floating diet. Losses among the fingerling channel catfish averaged 17% of the fish in each cage. Handling was considered to be the chief factor of mortality. Twenty percent of the subadult channel catfish were grown to a commercially-usable size (340 g or more) by the end of their second growing season in Oregon. Yields for the subadults were 31.4 kg for the fish fed the sinking diet and 35.8 kg for the fish fed the floating diet. Conversion ratios were 1.5:1 for the floating diet and 1.8:l for the sinking diet. Losses averaged 4% of the fish in each cage, all of which were attributed to poisoning from tarichatoxin exuded from the skin of the rough-skinned newt (Taricha granulosa granulosa) that was common in the pond. Apparently, the catfish were poisoned when they attacked the newts and bit them. Ninety-five percent of the brown bullhead fingerlings died as a result of severe columnariasis outbreaks in May and June, following handling. Growth data obtained from brown bullheads collected from lakes and reservoirs in central and western Oregon showed that growth under natural conditions in these areas may be sufficient to enable this species of catfish to be used in low-intensity cultural operations. Yields resulting from the use of floating cages for rearing fingerling channel catfish were greater than those observed in previous experiments at the same ponds in which fingerling channel catfish were raised free in the ponds, both with and without artificial feeding. High-intensity culture of channel catfish in ponds in Oregon's Willamette Valley does not appear to be economically feasible. The factor limiting the growth of catfish in this area appears to be low water temperatures.

This book was released on 1970 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The experiment was conducted at the Soap Creek farm ponds near Corvallis, Oregon. Oregon Moist Pellet and Purina Trout Chow at three different rates of feeding for each diet were used to feed fingerling channel catfish stocked at the rate of 1,000 per acre. A complete random design and Fisher's least significant differences tests of the means were employed to compare the growths of fish from six treatments which were sampled at three separate times. The growth rates of fish from all treatments were quite similar and the differences of the mean length and weight of fish from each period of rearing were not consistent, which suggests that their growth rate was not dependent upon the diets or the feeding rate but rather upon some factor such as temperature. The standard deviations of the mean weights of fish were extremely high, which indicates that not all fish relied on the supplemental foods. Positive values of the amount of skewness in the weight frequency distributions indicates that the majority of fish were small. The mean conversion factors for both diets at any feeding level were quite similar, which suggests that the fish did not respond well to an increase in the amount of food available. And since the fish in this experiment did not rely completely on the artificial diets, the conversion factors are of little value from a nutritional standpoint. The production of fish in this experiment was in the neighborhood of 66 kg. per surface acre over a period of 151 days. This figures indicates that rearing channel catfish with supplementary feeding in the Willamette Valley might hold promise.

Download or read book Biology and Culture of Channel Catfish written by C.S. Tucker and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-09-30 with total page 686 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of channel catfish farming in the United States serves as a model for the development of pond-based aquaculture industries worldwide. Channel catfish farming is the largest and economically most important aquaculture industry in the United States. In 2003, over 300,000 metric tons (662 million pounds) of channel catfish were processed, representing about half the total United States aquaculture production. Demand for farm-raised catfish is strong, with record processing years in 2002 and 2003. In 22 chapters written by active scientists in the field, Biology and Culture of Channel Catfish comprehensively synthesizes over 30 years of research on this American icon. Throughout the book, fundamental biological aspects of channel catfish are linked to practical culture techniques. Topics include: • Latest information on reproductive physiology, genetics, and breeding • Comprehensive treatment of catfish nutrition, feeds, and feeding practices • Water quality management and pond dynamics • In-depth review of immunology in channel catfish • Practical information on diseases and health management • Techniques for commercial culture, including innovative techniques such as raceways, recirculating systems, and partitioned aquaculture systems • Catfish economics and marketing • Exploration of environmental concerns, including recommended Best Management Practices

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although catfish have been farmed for about 30 years and catfish farm ing is the most successful aquacultural enterprise in the United States, there are those who contend that catfish farming is still as much of an "art" as it is a science. This position is difficult to refute completely, particularly considering that some practices used in catfish farming ap pear to have little scientific basis. Skill coupled with a small dose of mysticism certainly playa role in the culture of catfish, and the catfish producer is faced with the unenviable task of rearing an animal in an environment that requires considerable management. Certain aspects may still be an "art" because research and technical information needed to support the industry have lagged behind industry growth; however, the basic principles underlying catfish farming are based on sound scientific evidence whose foundation was laid in the 1950s by work conducted at state and federal fish hatcheries in the southeastern and midwestern United States. Since that time, several university and government laboratories have expanded the scientific base for catfish farming. As a result, considerable information is available, but it is gen erally fragmented and exists in a multitude of diverse scientific and trade journals. The material is often too technical or abstract to be com prehensible to fish culturists and personnel in allied industries. This book fits the definition of the term handbook in the sense that it is intended as a book of instruction or guidance as well as a reference.

Book Synopsis Channel Catfish Culture by : Craig S. Tucker
Download or read book Channel Catfish Culture written by Craig S. Tucker and published by Elsevier Publishing Company. This book was released on 1985 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The commercial culture of channel catfish in the south eastern part of the United States has grown at such an amazing rate in the last decade that more research efforts have been introduced to meet the need for additional technology. Although some of this research has been summarized within particular disciplines, there is no comprehensive treatise available that provides an overall summary of the current information available on the culture of this fish. This book has been written to try and cater for this need. However although researchers and commercial catfish producers will find much practical information in it, it is not intended to be only a fish culture manual. The material presented deals primarily with culture as practiced in the south eastern United States, but the principles should apply wherever this species is cultured.
