It is good to spend quiet alone time sometimes.... what on earth do they breed catfish for? When I was young we used to catch them and make 'fish jerky' , or sometimes even eat them .... but not many people in south africa would do that.
Did you know that they can actually travel across land for quite a few hours outside the water? They slither from one pond to another if the one they are in is drying out.
Catfish can be hard to fish for in natural waters here, and with a high demand for it's consumption, it is necessary to farm it.
Of course, they do find their way outside water and get really scratched. That would rarely happen in a well maintained pond though.
Thanks for the lovely comment. Really appreciate.
oh really? catfish is something so popular in the US! hehehe Isn't it funny to see how different cultures view different foods! LOL but they are SO popular to eat here! Especially fried with a Southern meal! hahahaha
and traveling across land for hours outside water?!?!?!?! i had no idea!!! but this is fascinating!!!!!!!!
