# 35 Bagre Africano, Peixe com Potencial para industria de pescados.

Today we're showcasing a rather controversial fish in fish farming: the African catfish, a fish with a highly desirable characteristic for large-scale farming. It grows quickly, is easy to produce fry, and is very hardy, as it can breathe even out of water. Thus, it can be raised at a much higher stocking density than other fish that depend solely on dissolved oxygen. All this, combined with a boneless fillet, highlights this fish as a species with excellent potential for the food industry.
