African catfish performs optimally in temperature above 25 degree Celsius. This does not mean temperature below 25 degree Celsius will kill your fish. It will only reduce the growth potential of your stock.

Catfish cultured in a deep earthen pond of depth between 3 to 6 feet can easily adjust to temperature by swimming to the warmer or cooler depth. However, studies have shown that shallow ponds are more affected by change in temperature (cold or hot temperature). Whether in earthen ponds or other types of ponds, cold weather affects the performance of African catfish and its environment in different ways as explained in this article.

In one of my previous articles, I wrote about the importance of seed in successful catfish farming. I will like to introduce my catfish fingerlings/juvenile supplier, Bunmi Alhade of Mosunmola Farms. In this article, she explains the process used in her hatchery to produce the best of breeds for customers who are in need of quality seeds.

Gone are the days when the African catfish fingerlings are captured from the wild. Aquaculture has gone beyond that and its associated problems like limited quantity, diseases afflicted stock, and stunted growth amongst others. These days the fingerlings are produced artificially in the hatchery, welcome to Mosunmola farms.
