PREFACE<br />
Almost 5 years have passed since the publication of the first revision of this report on the status of catfish nutrition<br />
<strong>and</strong> feeding. During that time, several studies have been completed that impact both feed formulation <strong>and</strong><br />
feeding practices. These new data have been included in the report. Much of the information presented remains<br />
unchanged. As in the original report, certain sections are presented in more detail <strong>and</strong> are more technical than others.<br />
We hope the information presented herein is practical <strong>and</strong> is presented in a usable manner. As stated in the<br />
original report, the information presented is intended as a guide because the feeding of catfish, though based on<br />
sound scientific evidence, remains in part an “art” as much as a science.<br />
