<div dir="ltr">Hello Reginaldo,<div><br></div><div style>In Minnesota, the majority of regulations pertaining to fish farms are handled by the Department of Natural Resources. You can find more information here: <a href="http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fishing/commercial/aquaculture.html">http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/fishing/commercial/aquaculture.html</a> or call Paula Phelps (651-259-5213), the Aquaculture/Fish Health Consultant. The MDA does not have an aquaculture contact.</div>
<div style><br></div><div style>If you have other questions, I'd be happy to help.</div><div style><br></div><div style>Have a good day,</div><div style>Nick</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
