What to do to have healthy catfish

Please take me through the rearing of catfish in a pond, from acquiring fingerlings – or hatchings – to harvesting. I have realised the market for this species in counties like Homa Bay, Migori, Kakamega, Busia, Siaya, Kisii and Nyamira is growing fast. What feeds do I require? Explain to me the dos and don’ts in catfish rearing too.
