I have been looking exhaustively for information on >2yr Ictalurus furcatus
bioenergetics  with little success.  I have only found data pertaining to 0 -
2yr blue and channel catfish in the primary literature.  What I am needing is
data on food conversion efficiency, assimilation, prey profitability,
energetic models, etc. on adult blue cat.  Ecological, aquaculture,
"grey-literature", or anything related would be greatly appreciated.  I have
already been looking at topics on bioenergetics in Wootton, Hoar and Randall,
and in numerous articles on centrarchids and salmonids.  They all discuss
other species and/or hypothetical assumption  models and so on, but I would
like to have data specific to blue catfish if possible.

Thank-you, Lindsey Lewis    [log in to unmask]
