Abstract
From 1993 to 1995 catfish verification trials were conducted to provide production support to the catfish industry in Arkansas. The results from these trials encouraged catfish farmers to reduce stocking rates to 15,000/ha and increase aeration rates to 2.5 hp/ha. The adoption of these farming techniques resulted in a reduction in the cost of production by 22%. From 1993 to 2002, the total economic benefit from the trials was $67 million. The average annual internal rate of return was 3.4%. Given these results, the trial was economically profitable.
