FORMULA FEEDS FOR CHANNEL CATFISH

by: Waldon Hastings and Harry K. Dupree

(The Progressive Fish-Culturist, vol. 31, no. 4, p. 187-196)

ERRATA: Rations 5 through 12 (table 1) contained Chick Grower vitamin premix for
fish fed in ponds, whereas fish fed in aquariums received Special Fish vitamin premix.
Accordingly, references to "Special Fish vitamin premix" for rations 5 through 12 in
tables 3 and 4 should be changed to "Chick Grower vitamin premix."
