When approaching the question of wildlife control around an aquaculture facility, the following items must be considered:
  • Many of the predators are just actually consuming weak or dying fish that are often the result of poor management or water quality
  • The number of fish lost to predators may be insignificant based on the cost of eradicating the predator
  • Some nuisance animals learn management behaviors and circumvent standard control measures  
This web site is to be used as a resource for control options. For any lethal control measures, it is the aquaculture producer's responsibility to obtain any/all permits from both state and federal authorities with jurisdiction over the species that is being controlled.
