PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The product is live and sold live. It will be marketed both on wholesale basis and retail basis. The Catfish is desirable to produce because of it hardy and high tolerant nature, ability to adapt to culture conditions and high feed to flesh conversion rate, which is about 70%. It is desirable too to market due to its general acceptability as an alternative source of animal protein. Its protein content is higher compared to meat and poultry.
