INTRODUCTION

      Go back to the top

This will be a year full of positive changes for aquaculture in New Jersey.  Finalization of the Aquatic Farmer License by the Department and adoption of environmentally sustainable and business friendly management practices will enable aquaculturists equivalent rights, protections, and incentives realized by land-based farmers.   With this foundation, aquatic farmers in New Jersey can make significant contributions to the growing demand for fish and shellfish products.  In addition, fish and plants produced for stocking backyard ponds and the recreation offered by fee fishing operations add to the quality of life in the Garden State. 

 

The New Jersey Aquaculture Directory lists individuals and businesses involved in the production of cultured aquatic products, and those related businesses that support aquaculture producers in New Jersey.  Each listing includes aquaculture products that are actively grown and marketed by each operation (along with information on stages and sizes available), along with related equipment, supplies, and professional services offered. 

 

This directory also includes related associations and contacts in extension, technical assistance, education, disease diagnosis, and economic development that support both active and prospective aquaculture producers. Also included are informational websites of government agencies, trade organizations, educational portals, and media sources for the aquaculture industry in New Jersey and beyond. New to this edition of the directory are technical and high schools that offer a hands-on approach to aquaculture education.

 

To have your information included in the New Jersey Aquaculture Directory, or to update your existing information, please fill out the SURVEY at the end of the directory and send to the NJDA Office of Aquaculture Coordination (in the RESOURCES AND INFORMATION section).
