Pond-raised channel catfish are the most popular species of food fish grown in the southeastern United States.

Bacterial disease is frequently the cause of death of catfish, though often secondary to other problems such as poor water quality or excessive parasitism . Medicated feeds can be used to control bacterial disease . However, the results of treatment may only be temporary unless underlying problems are also corrected.
