CONSTRUCTION, OPERATING COSTS AND CASH FLOW TEMPLATES FOR CATFISH (FOOD FISH) PRODUCTION SYSTEMS PESCAT 15 Introduction One of the first things potential catfish producers should do prior to making a major investment in a new operation is to evaluate the financial feasibility of the proposed project. This Fact Sheet provides descriptions of some typical commercial catfish production systems found throughout the southern states. Templates presented here estimate the total investments, debt servicing requirements, annual operating budgets and cash flows for turn-key production enterprises. An analysis also illustrates the sensitivity of systems to changes in prices, costs and production relationships. These templates are available as spreadsheet software in Microsoft Excel Workbook and Lotus .WK3 file formats. Data from published sources as well as directly from producers involved in building and operating facilities are included to provide you a start in developing your own customized budgets. Production Systems You can use these spreadsheets to characterize three basic types of commercial catfish production systems: watershed ponds and ponds with a dependable water supply (well, lake or stream) are conventional production systems, while recirculating systems use more intensive technologies. Two other types of systems, cages and raceways, are not specifically described here, but could be characterized by modifying spreadsheets provided here. Each system has definable production, marketing and financial management issues. You will find detailed descriptions of production and marketing management requirements for systems such as these in several sources (see appendix). However, few of these resources address in detail the potential costs and returns of constructing and operating these systems.
