That tells me that we have a lot more room to grow as an industry in
this state.
We need to continue to grow and expand as a commodity. To do that we need more producers, transporters, and as our productivity increases, more processors. So we need to identify the bottlenecks that are holding us back and seek to find ways of removing them. At no other time in our history have we had a better rapport with the agencies that regulate aquaculture. At no other time have our legislators been as aware of our existence. And at no other time have we had so much positive press as we enjoy now. So please join me taking aquaculture to the next level as we strive to better this industry for all the people of Ohio. Thank You For Allowing Me To Serve, Bob Calala |

The event will be held at the Columbus Marriott North, located near the I-71 and I-270 interchange in northeast Columbus. The conference’s theme will be “Rules, Rules, Rules – Effect on Ohio Aquaculture”.

At press time, we are finalizing several other speakers. The evening Banquet will be proceeded by a Social where Ohio aquaculturists can renew old friendships and start new ones. Registration starts at 8:30 AM with presentations commencing at 9:00 AM. Continental breakfast, breaks, and dinner will be provided as part of the registration cost.
