The stages involved in Catfish production and training is summarized as follows.
Hatching: This is done by cross breeding the male and the female brood stock artificially to produce fries.
Fries: At fry stage, the fishes are so minute and may take up to 3 days before becoming visible to the eyes and at this stage, they feed on powdery feeds.
Fingerlings stage: At this stage, the fishes are completely visible to the eye but look more like tiny tadpoles. This stage could take up to three weeks and their body parts gradually resemble that of a tiny fish. They will feed on pellets of about 0.3mm to 0.8mm.
