Abstract

Feeding is an important aspect of fish farming activities and could determine the quality of fish. African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) is an omnivorous freshwater fish that is high in protein and economical value. Catfish nursery generally uses natural feed and artificial feed to ensure the diet requirements fullfiled. Good feeding, in quality or quantity, is an important aspect to produce a high quality breed. A good feed is the basis of improving cultured catfish growth and survival performance. The purpose of this article is to review types of feed, feeding practices, and their enriched alternatives for catfish rearing.
