Ohio State Scientists Net 'Spectacular' Results in Yellow Perch Production |
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Aquaculture sales in Ohio more than tripled from $1.8 million to $6.6 million in recent years, and nationally, Ohio ranks first in sales of yellow perch for food.

That makes the supply of yellow perch juveniles limited and costly.
