The striped catfish can reach full maturation in captive conditions and can be induced to spawn (CAB International, 2006). The fish spawns throughout the year, but the peak breeding period is in May-July (as in nature), which corresponds to the onset of the rainy season (Bui et, 2010). Good quality broodstock from potential broodstock ponds are normally selected, based almost entirely on farmer experience, and transferred to maturation ponds for induced spawning about two to three months prior to spawning.
