3-5" Fingerling Channel Catfish This is about the smallest size of fingerling that will be stocked into stocker or food-fish ponds. |  |
| When catfish eggs hatch, the "sac fry" are heavier than water and will sink to the bottom. In commercial hatcheries a siphon hose is often used to transfer them from hatching troughs to rearing troughs. |
|
| Channel catfish are fed a high-quality floating feed in grow-out ponds. Use of a floating feed allows the farmer to visually inspect his crop on a daily basis. |
|
| 10-HP electric paddlewheel aerators are the standard for the industry. The aerators in this photo are arranged using new recommendations by scientists in the CGRU. |
|
As sac fry develop, they absorb the yolk sack, turn dark, and begin to swim up searching for food. These swim-up fry are nearly ready to stock out into 5010 acre fry ponds for growth into fingerlings. |  |
