Effect of Nutrition on Body Composition and Subsequent Storage Quality of Farm-raised Channel Catfish

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: November 2001

This document summarizes results of the Southern Regional Aquaculture Center project Effect of Nutrition on Body Composition and Subsequent Storage Quality of Farm-raised Channel Catfish. The primary goal of this project was to enhance the nutritional composition and storage quality of channel catfish by manipulating diet composition and feeding regimes.The effects of these various manipulations on catfish growth and body composition, production economics, and storage quality edible products were delineated in several multidisciplinary studies. Based on the results of those studies, refinements in diet formulations, feeding practices and fish processing have been developed to optimize catfish growth and production economics while ensuring the quality of resulting products, especially in frozen storage.
