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. But currently, most fish farmers get fingerlings from traditional, low-intensity pond cultures where farmers are at the mercy of good weather and a lot of luck. That makes the supply of yellow perch juveniles limited and costly.
