Aquaculture & Fisheries

Aquaculture Cooperative Extension Service programming in Arkansas is administered through the Aquaculture/Fisheries Center at UAPB.  Five Extension Fisheries Specialists, and an Extension Technician are located in Lonoke, Pine Bluff, and Lake Village, Arkansas, to provide assistance to the aquaculture industry. 

Disease and water quality diagnostics support for the Aquaculture Industry in Arkansas is provided through three laboratories located in Lonoke, Lake Village, and Pine Bluff. Extension efforts have included intensive in-service training of county agents in catfish production, organizing producer workshops, problem-solving, publication of the quarterly newsletter "Arkansas Aquafarming", farm labor training in pond management of Hispanic workers conducted in Spanish and other activities. 

To see what we have available, please visit the Aquaculture/Fisheries home page or check our links below for other useful resources for aquaculture producers.

The Southern Regional Aquaculture Center maintains a collection of over 150 fact sheets on aquaculture-related topics ranging from alligator culture to freshwater prawns, indoor recirculating systems to water gardens, and pond construction to leaky ponds. These fact sheets are available at: http://srac.tamu.edu/
