Culture of sharptooth catfish, Clarias gariepinus in southern Africa

Abstract

This report presents the proceedings of a two-day workshop held on the sharptooth catfish farm “Moirah” of Mr W Uys in the Eastern Transvaal in late January 1988. The overall aim of the workshop was to synthesize the available information on the culture of this important species in order to provide a skeletal guideline for prospective entrepreneurs. In the second instance the workshop also served to identify research needs for the refinement of husbandry techniques.
