No results found.Culture of the walking catfish (chiefly Clarias batrachus with some C. macrocephalus) started in Thailand during the late 1950's. Operations were initially concentrated in proximity to the city of Bangkok but they now occur throughout the country. The current production of farmed Clarias is about 11,000 metric tons/year. A written record of information has accumulated on Clarias and its culture in Thailand over the past 20 years. It largely comprises reports by government agencies and universi ties which account the results of field and laboratory research and of observations on the artisanal practices of Clarias farmers. Most of the reports are recorded in Thai and are in mimeograph or manuscript form but some have been published in local journals, some are written in English and some have an English summary or abstract. This bibliography presents a list of reports, regardless of status, on Clarias in Thailand that were available by June 1981. Although the search for titles was ext ensive some omissions still may occur. Routine “Annual Reports of the Thai Department of Fisheries” which largely present production statistics including some on Clarias from both capture and culture fisheries are not included in the list; they presently exist for the year 1952 to 1978. -

Programme for the Development of Pond Management Techniques and Disease Control
1981Also available in:
No results found.In order to provide seed fish for emerging Clarias culture, the Thai Department of Fisheries implemented a public program for collecting fry from the wild. Methods for collecting the fry were demonstrated by government fisheries officers. Collected fry were purchased by the Bangkhen Fisheries Station. Some were re-distributed to fish farmers while some were first reared to a 3 to 5 cm size before being passed on. About 180,000 and 3,000,000 fry were produced by this program in 1959 and 1960, res pectively. 1 This working paper is a translated version of a report which appears in the Thai Fisheries Gazette, 14(2):105–111(1961). A first draft in English was prepared by Tawan Chookajorn, fisheries biologist, National Inland Fisheries Institute, Bangkhen, Bangkok. The version presented here was developed by Dr. Alex Fedoruk, Senior Fisheries Biologist with DoF-UNDP/FAO project THA/75/012 in Thailand, from the draft and discussion with Thai fisheries workers. Transferring information by th is means is subject to the limitations inherent in relaying from one language to another. Shortfalls in the information presented may thus be a reflection of communication rather than of source. 2 Formerly, fisheries biologist, Bangkhen Fisheries Station, Bangkok, Thailand. Presently, Provicial Fisheries Officer, Singburi Province, Thailand.
