Vitamin fortification of the Auburn No. 2 pelleted fish feed increased net production of channel catfish an average of 19.3 percent in feeding test conducted in replicated earthen ponds between April 13 and November 9, 1970. A stocking density of 4,000 fingerlings acre was used and the fish were fed 6 days per week. In comparison to a second commercial catfish feed containing identical vitamin fortification the fortified Auburn No. 2 feed produced an increase in net production of 39.5 percent. Feed conversion, gain per day and average weight of fish at harvest were all superior with the fortified Auburn No. 2 feed when compared to the other two rations.
