Somehow, intensive aquaculture seems to have avoided the close scrutiny of the economics of diminishing returns. The basic costs for low management catfish production, feed ($630; $0.14/lb) and fingerlings ($225; $0.15/fish), would be $855/acre.ow density, autumn stocking in combination with temperature-based feeding substantially increased channel catfish fingerling weight by the subesequent spring. The advanced spring fingerling size (0.19-lb) allowed production of a 1.45-lb food-fish (1343 fish/acre) in 180 days.
Overview. Croup or Acute Laryngotracheobronchitis (ALTB) is a viral infection of the throat (upper airway). The virus causes swelling of the voice box (larynx) and windpipe (trachea). The swelling narrows the airway and makes breathing hard.
Croup (acute laryngotracheobronchitis) on X-ray with steeple sign. Croup, also called acute laryngotracheobronchitis is caused by viral infection of the upper airway usually parainfluenza virus or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). It is common and has a peak incidence before the age of 1 year (typically between 3 and 6 months of age).
