CHANNEL CATFISH

RECOMMENDED STOCKING RATES FOR A FED POND: 2,000 per surface acre without aeration. 3,000 to 5,000 per surface acre with aeration. 10,000 or more per surface acre with a biological filter and aeration.

RECOMMENDED STOCKING RATES WITHOUT FEED: 100 per surface acre; and there is a much slower rate of growth.

WE HAVE WORKED CONSTANTLY FOR THE PAST 35 YEARS DEVELOPING A SPECIAL BREED OF CHANNEL CATFISH THAT WILL PRODUCE HIGHER YIELDS AND A FASTER GROWTH.

WE HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THIS BY SELECTIVE CROSS-BREEDING AND HAND PICKING OUR BROOD STOCK FROM EIGHT DIFFERENT FAMILIES OF HIGH YIELDERS AND FAST GROWERS FROM ACROSS THE UNITED STATES.

MANY HATCHERIES IN-BREED STOCK WITHIN THE SAME FAMILY; WHICH PRODUCES AN INFERIOR OFF-SPRING. WE HAVE EXPENDED EXTRA TIME AND EXPENSE TO PREVENT IN-BREEDING OUR BROOD STOCK.
