Aquaculture grants coming to state fish producers impacted by last year's feed costs

Oklahoma

Oklahoma is receiving $91,000 through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act to be given to commercial fish producers who suffered losses associated with high feed costs during the 2008 calendar year.

Producers are encouraged to contact Dr. Rod Hall, Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry Animal Industry Aquaculture Program Administrator. He can be reached at 405-522-6126 or by e-mail at rod.hall@oda.state.ok.us.

The amount producers may receive will depend on the amount of feed they purchased in 2008. Eligible species of fish include catfish, goldfish, baitfish, largemouth bass and tilapia.
