Fish farming?

Question

What is the best breed of fish to raise in Ohio?

Answer 1

In the end you must choose what is available. Keep in mind you want a marketable product and get the most for it. Have a method of aquaculture you prefer to use (pens in a river or pond, tanks in a building) and see what varieties do well from what is available. Hybrid bass, salmon, are all nice products for the table but if you are rearing fingerlings for stocking, most states won't let you release them. You might want to see who wants what FIRST, then grow the product. Or do you have a niche market for something like crayfish?

Answer 2

I think that would depend on your purpose for farming, personal food, research, farm to take product to market. just pets etc.. once you know this it may be easier to determine which species is most suitable for you.

Answer 3

Catfish is the best fish for fish farming in the US.

Answer 4

hi

Walleye is the best breed. But you could try Catfish and Northern Pike.
