Managing Off-Flavor Problems in Pond-Raised Catfish

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: August 1999

Problems with inconsistent flavor quality occur in all food industries, but are especially important in aquaculture because these foods are often more expensive than other sources of animal protein. To capture and maintain market share, aquaculture products must be of consistent, superior quality. Flavor quality is all the more important in farm-raised catfish because catfish are not a customary part of the diet for consumers outside the southeastern United States. If catfish with off flavors are marketed, first-time buyers may be reluctant to make future purchases in favor of more familiar foods, such as poultry, pork, beef or seafood from capture fisheries.
