[Sc-aquaponics] [Aqua-ohio] FW: NCRAC Survey

[Bill Lynch]

Ohio Culturists,

As President of the OAA, I urge you to participate in this survey if you
are a RAS fish grower.  All of us in industry want to see aquaculture grow
and our marketing opportunities grow.  But when industry fails to
participate in research and extension projects, it hinders such
development.  These survey and others when they occur via funded research
and extension projects are intended to help us, you and I.

Bill Lynch
OAA President
