  Catfish Row - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Catfish Row", originally entitled "A Suite from Porgy and Bess", is an orchestra work by George Gershwin based upon music from his opera Porgy and Bess.
Gershwin completed the work in January 1936 and it premiered at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia on January 21, 1935, with Alexander Smallens conducting the Philadelphia Orchestra.
Catfish Row contains the Overture, "Jazzbo Brown's Piano Blues" which was cut from the opera (a discordant development of the overture theme), and the first iteration of "Summertime" with a short coda.

 With a View to Fisheries - Catfish, the basics
Each row consists of hundreds of teeth and these predominantly soft and are used to grip the prey; they slope inwards toward the back of the mouth.
Catfish are especially suited to the slow-flowing reaches of the larger rivers and lakes especially with dense weed-beds and muddy bottoms.
However, catfish are very adaptable and can even be found in the strongest currents of the River Po in Italy where fish up to 200 lb can be seen feeding under boiling water conditions where the current is so strong that boats are unable to anchor.

Upper row shows three types of finely ground, nutritionally complete feed that are fed to newly hatched catfish, called “fry.” Bottom row from left to right: 1/8” and 1/4” floating catfish feed fed to fingerlings and adult catfish, and sinking catfish feed used during winter months.
Before catfish were produced in ponds, Mississippians supplied their kitchens and their fish-fry events by either catching their own catfish in nearby rivers using cane poles, or buying catfish from fishmongers or commercial fishermen.
In the 1960s, catfish ponds ranged from twenty to forty acres while today the typical pond has been reduced to ten to fifteen acres because it is easier to manage, feed, and harvest catfish from smaller ponds.

 DuBose Heyward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Langston Hughes called Heyward one who saw, "with his white eyes, wonderful, poetic qualities in the inhabitants of Catfish Row that makes them come alive." Biographer James M. Hutchisson characterizes Porgy as "the first major southern novel to portray fls without condescension" and states that the libretto to Porgy and Bess was largely Heyward's work.
In Charleston DuBose found a majority of the inspiration for his book, including what would become the setting (Catfish Row) and the main character (a cripple named Porgy).
The novel Porgy became a best seller in 1926 and Heyward continued to explore his love for writing after that with his novel also set in Catfish Row, Mamba's Daughters.
