In September, 2003, at the request of the North Central Regional Aquaculture Center's Industry Advisory Committee, a survey was conducted in the 12 North Central Region states and 9 surrounding states for the purpose of obtaining current information regarding regional:
- State Aquaculture Contacts and Coordinators
- Fish Health Certification
- Aquaculture Transportation Requirements
- Aquaculture Best Management Practices (BMPs)
- Approved Aquatic Species
In 2008, NCRAC’s Regional Aquaculture Extension Specialist undertook a more extensive effort to update aquaculture contact information, importation requirements, fish health certification requirements, baitfish regulations and aquaculture facility licensing. As of September 1, 2008, this process has been completed for the 12 NCR states. Adjacent states will be completed ASAP. To date, there are no BMPs for aquaculture reported for individual states. State-adopted BMPs will be listed once/if they become available.
