Better management practices African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) spawning and fingerling production in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Basiita, R.K. | Rajts, F.
In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), there is growing demand for African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) as food. Coupled with this demand is the potential to culture African catfish within the DRC. Catfish fingerling production could be successful in the DRC if proper guidelines and better management practices (BMPs) are followed. BMPs are necessary for such important aspects as broodstock feeding and handling, egg and larval rearing, fry nursing and fingerling grading, and water quality management. Wherever BMPs are not adhered to, losses in hatcheries can reach as high as 100%. The objective of this document is to provide information on BMPs to prevent certain common mistakes during commercial production. This will minimize losses, especially at the larval, fry and fingerling stages of the production cycle.
