dc.description	This brochure introduces the essential practices in catfish hatchery, nursery, and grow-out culture, focusing on the African catfish Clarias gariepinus, a hardy and fast-growing species suited for small-scale and commercial aquaculture. It summarizes key steps in broodstock preparation, hormone-induced breeding, egg fertilization, larval rearing, pond management, feeding, and stocking techniques. The guide also outlines proper grow-out procedures and harvest considerations, and includes a brief financial analysis showing that catfish culture can be profitable even at backyard scale.	en
