The National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) undertook the Catfish ?97 Study to provide the industry with information regarding catfish health and management practices at the national level for education and research. This report is the first release in a series documenting Catfish ?97 results. Catfish ?97 is the first NAHMS study of the catfish industry. Four states, Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, were selected to be included in the study. These four states represented 95.9 percent of the total national catfish sales in 1996 and 93.5 percent of the water surface acres to be used for catfish production from January 1 through June 30, 1997. These four states accounted for 68.6 percent of all catfish operations on January 1, 1997.
