A technique was developed to enable channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) to spawn in lakes where sufficient spawning habitat is not available. Forty-five-liter spawning cans were suspended from styrofoam floats at a depth of 1.25 m below the water surface, in water that was 2-5 m deep. Brood fish successfully utilized the containers for spawning, and the presence of eggs in sunken containers suggests that channel catfish will spawn successfully at depths of up to 5 m if satisfactory nesting sites are available.
