  abstract = {{C}atfish ({S}iluriformes) are important species for aquaculture worldwide, with an annual production in 2018 of ca. 6 million t. {T}his review focuses on reassessing larval development, first feeding, and early rearing practices of the most important farmed catfish species, along with some candidate species for aquaculture diversification: {P}angasianodon hypophthalmus ({P}angasiidae), {C}larias gariepinus ({C}lariidae), {I}ctalurus punctatus ({I}ctaluridae), {P}seudoplatystoma spp. ({P}imelodidae), {H}eteropneustes fossilis ({H}eteropneustidae), {R}hamdia quelen ({H}eptapteridae), {O}mpok bimaculatus ({S}iluridae), and {L}ophiosilurus alexandri ({P}seudopimelodidade). {T}hese species are initially reared indoors from one day to two weeks and are then transferred to fertilised outdoor ponds where they either feed on natural zooplankton or compound feeds. {W}ith the exception of {C}. gariepinus, {I}. punctatus, {R}. quelen and {P}. hypophthalmus, consistent and reliable fry production is a bottleneck that limits the expansion of farming of other species, such as {P}seudoplatystoma spp., {H}. fossilis, {O}. bimaculatus, and {L}. alexandri. {R}earing systems (extensive, semi-extensive, intensive) and feeding protocols vary with species and geographical regions. {C}annibalism and size heterogeneity are common, and these features create problems for larval and fry rearing of catfish species. {I}nformation about their nutritional requirements is required for the formulation of compound feeds that can guarantee high survival and good growth of catfish fries. {H}owever, such knowledge for most species is scarce, although some data are available for {I}. punctatus. {F}urther genomic resources might allow fine-tuning rearing success. {T}his review describes some successes in this field, and also highlights gaps in knowledge to guide future research that can promote the development of catfish aquaculture.},
