About this document

Profitability of Catfish Farming in Ponds by jean santos is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses the potential for profitable extensive catfish aquaculture in farm ponds. It presents a mathematical model analyzing optimal stocking densities and harvesting strategies. Results showed stocking densities up to 3,000 fish per hectare per year could be profitable. Breakeven prices were found to be less than $2.20 per kilogram, indicating small-scale extensive catfish farming in ponds can be both feasible and profitable if producers have access to local retail markets.
