Commercial Catfish Plant Is New Business for Lisbon A new business, that of raising and selling home grown catfish, is getting underwayin Lisbon this month. Construction of the plant, which is on the premises of Schoff Construction Co., was begun in March. President and treasurer of the firm, known as Lisbon Cat- fish, Inc., is Wayne E. Schoff. Roland Kerslake is vice president and Dr. Robert Tuberty is sec- retary. The starting budget of $65,000 for investment in the plant and start up costs. Housing the equipment is a 46 by 92-foot steel building with 450 square feet of additional space for the processing and sales room, which is called“The Cat House.” The current installation is 40 steel tanks each with a capacity of 1,000 gallons of fresh well water in which the catfish will be grown. The first fish were received last Thursday from “The Aqua System” at Warsaw, 111., pioneers in the development of catfish farming. The first 200 fish varied from 4 to 12 inchesin length. When in fullproductionthecat- fish will be obtained from the state of Mississippi and will be from four to eight inches in size. They will be brought in by spec- ially equipped trucks or semis with tanks. The fish do not like light or noise. Thus tours of theplant are not possible. The operator of a catfish farm must be willing to “baby si ” with them, keep the pure water constantly at 75 to 80 degrees and provide emergency power in caSe of an electric fail- ure during a storm. An alarm system will alertthe manager as soon as the power goes off. After 15 to 20 minutes the fish will be stressed and a 10 kilowatt generator can be started to provide water and air for them. Each of the 40 tanks has an aerator. The water is sprayed into the tank at the top and goes out at the bottom through a pipe which runs up bill so theth can not be drained. An elaborate system is pro- vided to keep the water clean and FRESH MEATS, VEGETABLES and GROCERIES F arm House Powdered Doughnuts.--............p... 39c Kraft’s Parkay............................3 u... 89c Butternut Coffee.....................2 “.3151 New PatatoeS,Whhe or red..............lo ".390 lb. 39¢ New California Valencia 0ranges...........59c‘ Pork Chops...................................“.696; E Wieners.....................................2“.3119 Oscar M ey er Little Fryer Sausage.....................e89c Winsor u. 49c Semi-Boneless use sanitary. The waste is pumped to a sludge pit. Water is siphoned off at the top and goes through a high pressure sand filter. Then it is Sprayed over a filter con- sisting of eight feet of hard white rock. The filter has an automatic back wash which drains into an— other pit with atemperature con- trol to provide heat when need- ed. A float maintains an eVen water level, refilling after each back wash. The waste water goes into a private septic tank system. The building is highly insulated with urethane foam which was sprayed on the sides and ceiling by Curt E‘dinger. This permits a carefully controlled temperature the year around. The constant spraying of water in the tanks and filter beds along with the temperature maintained causes a high humidity in the building. The fish will be dressed in a processing room when they weigh from a pound and a quart— er to a pound and a half. Those not sold immediately at retail will be frozen. This business, new to this area,-was not undertaken without a good deal of study and investi— gation. Mr. Schoff began investigating catfish farming in 1970. After gathering much information talk— ing to fish farmers and after more consideration, it was de- cided early in 1972 to start on the project. Last month he at- tended a two-day seminar on catfish farming at the University of Illinois. Development of fish farming has centered in Illinoiswith Prof. Marvin Hall of the University of Illinois as a pioneer in inventing and perfecting a system for pro- fitable raising of catfish within the four walls of a building. A pilot plant was built at War— saw, Ill. The design of the Lisbon plant is based on “The Aqua System,” developed ath- .

A committee from the Walmer board, and the Park board met with the Council in regard to lighting and location of ball dia- monds at the City Park. After a discussion, several of those present went tothe park for an inspection. No further action is planned until another meeting is held. Glenn Plattenberger Mayor C.H. Mason Clerk (Pub. July 13, 1972) producing fish industry, Lisbon’s newest busi— ness, is on U.S. highway 30. saw. Because fish caughtin streams are disappearing from the house- hold table due to possible pollut- ed waters, interest has developed m an entirely new field, that of growing catfish commercially in a building. When in full operation around Sept. 1, the plant expects to pro- duce 40,000 pounds of fresh fish a year. While the system will on an average hold 35,000 fish, the building is designed so that a second set of 40 tanks can be installed. An extension can be built on one end to provide space for a third set of 40 tanks if there is demand for them. RACING RESULTS Roger Dolan finished second In a heat race at Hawkeye Downs last Friday.
