I've come across something called melange farming. This is where you raise catfish for 2.5-3 months (300-500g body wt) and sell them either fresh or smoked. To maximize profit you must hatch your own fries and it is better than raising catfish till maturity. This is because at a younger age, the fish grow fast while eating less feed (low feed converstion ratio). After 3 months, feed consumption tend to increase.
