Fast-forwarding to this week?there?s no easy way to tell you this, but Julie was discharged from The James Cancer hospital yesterday and went to her home under Hospice Care. As heart-breaking as this news is, Julie is at peace with her decision, and I hope that you take comfort in knowing this. In true Julie fashion, she?s doing this ?her way?. Julie welcomes cards and messages on her CaringBridge site: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/juliestrawser and/or send cards to: Julie Strawser Berkley House, Unit #435 5300 Riverside Drive Upper Arlington, OH 43220 I?m sure you want to help Julie in any way you can but please know that she is settling in with Hospice right now, in addition to trying to manage the intense pain that has been so difficult to control. At this time, the best any of us can do is to send her cards or post on her CaringBridge account to let her know that we are thinking of her. If/when she is up for visitors, Julie, or one of her sisters or her best friend, Brandi will reach out to arrange a visit (phone or in-person). I know this is difficult news to cope with and I promise to reach out if there are any updates on Julie?s status. In the meantime, hold your loved one?s tight, and as Julie always says, ? make it a GREAT day?. Teresa Teresa S?.

Below is info on the latest aquaculture regulatory papers. As a reminder, there are regulatory impact infographic sheets on many of the other U.S. aquaculture sectors. Trout and salmon infographic and info can be seen HERE. And the bait/sportfish infographics for both the entire U.S. and Ohio are attached. ?Matt [The Ohio State University] Matthew A.

This can further guide strategies to improve the efficiency of regulatory frameworks and potentially reduce on-farm compliance costs while maintaining adequate oversight. A new study estimated the regulatory compliance burden on US catfish farms as part of a national effort to quantify the cost of regulations on US aquaculture farms. Completed survey interviews of catfish farms in the major catfish-producing states covered 63% of the total US catfish production area. Total regulatory costs of the US catfish industry were estimated at $45 million annually. Lost farm revenues (measured as the value of lost production, the value of markets lost from regulations, and the value of business opportunities lost because of regulations) were estimated to be $35 million per annum. Catfish-producing states outside the Alabama/Arkansas/Mississippi region had the highest ($2,856/ ha) and Alabama the lowest ($1,127/ha) regulatory costs per hectare among the surveyed states. The greatest regulatory cost burden on catfish farms ($18 million) was caused by environmental regulations related mostly to the management of federally protected piscivorous migratory birds, followed by labor regulations ($12 million), and taxes/ insurance ($7 million). Regulatory costs ($/kg) were 2.6 times higher on smaller (<80 ha) farms relative to larger (>300 ha) farms. Attention is needed to identify alternative regulatory frameworks that provide the same degree of regulatory oversight but are more cost-efficient. To access the published study, click here.
