Fast growing hybrid catfish for Africa
Fast Growing and Hybrid African Catfish" is developed to enhance freshwater farming in Sub-Saharan Africa. This technology involves the selective breeding and hybridization of two catfish species to create a superior hybrid offspring (Hetero-Clarias). The process of hybridization requires hormone-induced egg release in female catfish and the collection of seminal fluids from male catfish, subsequently combined to produce the hybrid.
This technology is TAAT1 validated.
