Synopsis (short abstract) 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.

    Clarias macrocephalus fry were reared on two artificial feeds, one with a vitamin and mineral premix and the other without. The fry, 15 day old fish averaging 0.2 grams each, were stocked at the density of 1,000/m2 in fibre glass tanks and were fed at the presumed rate of 5% of their body weight/day. At termination of the trials (33 days) survival in lots fed on food with the premix was 79% and the average size of the fish was 0.65 g. Survival in the opposing treatment was 35.18% and the avera ge size of the fish was 0.48 g. Cost estimates indicated that the diet with the premix could be prepared for about 10ß (US$0.50)/kg and that 1ß (US$0.05) worth of feed would be required to feed 100 fry for 30 days.
