Extract: The purpose of the microcomputer program described herein is to facilitate better catfish production management decisions through microcomputer accumulation and management of more timely and complete catfish production records, as well as microcomputer generated analyses and reports from those records. The program has two major functions. First, it serves as a record keeping system that will store, retrieve, summarize, display and print data useful for day-to-day decisions as well as long run analyses. Second, the program will perform the rather complicated mathematical calculations necessary to estimate future feed requirements, fish growth, and expected harvest dates much more rapidly and, perhaps, more accurately than can be done with conventional methods
