Project Number: 6402-31000-008-10
Project Type: Nonfunded Cooperative Agreement

Start Date: May 01, 2007
End Date: Nov 01, 2008

Objective:
To evaluate important production traits of experimental catfish lines in a commercial catfish production environment.

Approach:
An experimental line and a control line (a pooled sample of channel catfish collected from commercial catfish hatcheries) will be stocked in separate but paired ponds of similar size and dimension, at equal density. Feed production data, for each pond, will be collected and analyzed. Information obtained will be used in making decisions related to catfish germplasm development and release.
