Abstract: Decreased profitability of catfish production has led to a 50% decline in catfish pond acreage in Mississippi. This study indicates that with catfish prices at or above $0.90 per pound, channel catfish production using multiple-harvest, conventional pond systems would be preferable to conversion to irrigated soybean or irrigated corn production.
