Catfish Processing: A Rising Southern Industry

Abstract

This study describes the catfish processing industry in nine Southern States in 1970, and attempts to determine factors affecting the economic operation of the 16 plants surveyed. The infant industry--only three of the 16 processors marketed any fish prior to 1968—is still experimenting with different processing and marketing methods. Processing methods include hand labor, machine use, and a combination of both. About 98 percent of the product was sold wholesale in 1970. Obtaining a steady supply of fish--especially in slack summer months--to increase utilization of capacity is the major problem facing the industry. In contrast to a total capacity of 21.3 million pounds (live weight), the plants only processed 6.4 million pounds in 1970.
