Freshwater Fish Farming in Virginia: Selecting the Right Fish to Raise | In Virginia and throughout the United States, interest in fish farming for profit or as a hobby has increased in the past few years. Encouraged by the success of trout farmers in western states and catfish farmers in southern states, prospective fish farmers question if similar opportunities exist in Virginia's fresh waters. |

Pond Construction: Some Practical Considerations | Conservative estimates place the correct number
of farm ponds in Virginia at over 50,000. These
ponds range in size from less than one acre to over
30 acres in size. Unfortunately, many of these
ponds are so poorly constructed that they fail to
serve the purpose for which they were originally
designed; some may be unsafe. |

Planning for Commercial Aquaculture | Aquaculture, the practice of growing finfish and shellfish under controlled conditions, is not a new concept. The Japanese, Chinese, Romans, Egyptians, and Mayan Indians of South America farmed fish for food and recreation prior to 2000 BC. They constructed ponds and raised fish much as fish are raised today. Both freshwater and saltwater fish are currently raised commercially throughout the world. Other fisheries-related products, such as shrimp, crayfish, oysters, clams, and frogs, are also raised commercially. |

Clearing Muddy Pond Waters | Muddy, cloudy water is not only unattractive, but can be harmful to aquatic life. Although high sediment loads in ponds seldom kill sport fish directly, muddy waters can seriously reduce fish production. |
May 1, 2009 | 420-250 | ||
Control Methods For Aquatic Plants in Ponds and Lakes | Aquatic plants growing in ponds and lakes are beneficial for fish and wildlife. They provide food, dissolved oxygen, and spawning and nesting habitat for fish and waterfowl. |
May 1, 2009 | 420-251 | ||
Fish Kills: Their Causes and Prevention | Fish die as a result of a wide variety of natural and unnatural causes. Fish may die of old age, starvation, body injury, stress, suffocation, water pollution, diseases, parasites, predation, toxic algae, severe weather, and other reasons. |
May 1, 2009 | 420-252 | ||
The Control of Burrowing Crayfish in Ponds | At times landowners may be confronted with serious water losses resulting from the sudden collapse or gradual deterioration of earthen pond dams, irrigation canals, and drainage ditches. Although the loss of water from small earthen impoundments is frequently due to faulty construction, it may also be the result of undetected biological forces. |
May 1, 2009 | 420-253 | ||
Liming Acidified Lakes and Ponds | “Liming,” as the word suggests, is the addition of limestone (calcite), primarily calcium carbonate (CaCO3), to neutralize acid waters and soils and buffer them from rapid fluctuations in pH. Limestone typically is applied to lawns, gardens, pastures, and
croplands to supply calcium, an essential plant nutrient,
and to decrease soil acidity. |

Should You Attempt Fish Farming? Considerations for Prospective Fish Growers | Fish farming is an ancient practice that can provide
many profitable opportunities today. The raising and
selling of fish on a commercial basis has proven to be
economically successful throughout the United States. |

Intensive Marine Finfish Larviculture | Marine finfish production is a rapidly expanding field, both in research and industrial aquaculture. A driving force behind this growth is the inherently high value placed upon marine finfish products in the marketplace. |

Impacts of COVID-19 on U.S. aquaculture, aquaponics, and allied businesses: Quarter 2 Results | In response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) disease pandemic, a collaborative initiative was launched by The Ohio State University, Virginia Tech, and Engle-Stone Aquatic$, LLC to assess the impacts of the pandemic on U.S. aquaculture, aquaponics, and allied industry. Over the course of the first quarter of 2020, the U.S. government developed and implemented several emergency relief measures, in an effort to assist small businesses and individuals. The Q2 survey asked specifically about these relief and assistance programs, as well as questions on adaptations and changes being implemented by farms and businesses in response to the ongoing challenges. This fact sheet summarizes the Q2 results of this study, covering the period from April 10th to June 29th, 2020. |

Food Allergen Labeling and HACCP Control for the Seafood Industry: Undeclared Food Allergens and Their Impact on U.S. Consumers | According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
as many as 11 million Americans have food
allergies. A food allergy can trigger symptoms ranging
from a tingling mouth, swelling of the tongue and
throat, hives, and abdominal cramps to anaphylaxis
and — in severe cases — death (CDC 2012). Consumers
with known allergies must read labels to identify
allergenic foods or ingredients on packaged products
so they can more easily avoid them. |
