Abstract

The Iowa Conservation Commission initiated a cooperative program with 25 county conservation boards in 1971 to cage culture channel catfish. The main objective was to rear yearling catfish to a size large enough during one growing season to escape predation. The Fisheries Section provided the catfish and technical assistance for care and feeding, while the county boards provided the cages, feed and personnel to feed the fish.
