Abstract

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of this study was to quantify the economic costs and impacts of off‐flavor on U.S. catfish farms.MethodsA survey was conducted to quantify the costs and economic methods using enterprise budget techniques to enumerate the costs of off‐flavor on catfish farms.ResultDiuron was the most popular‐choice algicide for off‐flavor management. Direct annual costs associated with off‐flavor management on catfish farms amounted to US$40 million/year. Total industry economic losses due to off‐flavor was estimated at $73.9 million in 2022.ConclusionThe study confirms the continued significance of off‐flavor in U.S. catfish farming and quantifies the associated economic effects.
