The photos show the process of the natural spawning of African catfish, Clarias garepinus in Benin. It is believed that the natural spawning when carried out properly, this approach is easier and more economical compared to artificial spawning. The photos show the spawning tanks in which two pairs of catfish broodstock are stocked. It is believed that the placing palm tree leaves or banana leaves in the spawning tank will provide substrates to fertilized eggs and hatched larvae.
