BEARING HOUSE: This is the building that
houses the rearing tanks of the Cat House,
The commercially
Lisbon' s newest industry.
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

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- .

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.
