In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we dive into a recent study on resource productivity and cost efficiency in U.S. catfish aquaculture. The study examines 38 farms across several states, providing key insights into land, water, energy, and labor use. We highlight how intensive farming systems like split ponds and aerated ponds are outperforming traditional methods. Tune in for data-driven strategies to improve farm operations.
