The best way to get information on beginning an aquaculture operation in Wisconsin is to:

Get the starter kit from DATCP (Dept of Agriculture), by visiting the webpage: http://www.datcp.state.wi.us/mktg/business/marketing/val-add/aqua/pubs/packet.jsp For states other than Wisconsin, regulations could vary greatly from information provided. Contact your State Aquaculture Coordinator at: http://www.mda.state.md.us/aqua/coordin.htm
Use the Wisconsin Aquaculture Directory contained in the starter kit to contact farmers doing the sort of thing you are interested in. Visit sites, ask questions, learn what works and what doesn't. Most farmers are very willing to assist; some charge a small 'consulting fee' and request that an appointment be made in advance for a site visit.
Visit the NCRAC site, AQUANIC. This site is inter-linked with virtually every internet site in the world. It is designed to make any and all available information on fish and fish culture easy to find. From site and business planning to construction, nutrition, growth projections and marketting, laid out for beginners or more advanced inquiries, this site can't be beat.
Join the Wisconsin Aquaculture Association, attend meetings, network with members. No matter how experienced you are, how far you've gone and how many mega-tons of fish you've raised, you'll learn more through interaction with this diverse, unique and fun group.
