<div dir="ltr"><div>Fellow Aquaculturists, <br></div><div><br></div><div>Please read the following info. from Kevin Kayle, Fish Hatchery Program Coordinator at the ODNR, ODW concerning aquaculture permits in Ohio for 2019:</div><div><br></div><div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Aquaculture A & B, Bait Dealer, Triploid White
Amur, Fish Transportation, and Fish Wholesale Permits issued by the
ODNR, Division of Wildlife are available online
<u>now</u>. Here is a link to the webpage for the permits: <a href="http://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/licenses-and-permits/specialty-licenses-permits" target="_blank">http://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/licenses-and-permits/specialty-licenses-permits</a> .</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are purchasing them online, and once the
permit application and payment process is complete, the purchased
permit(s) will be valid for the entire 2019 season. You do
<u>not</u> have to wait until January first. We have the system up and
running now to process permits for the 2019 calendar year. Once the
online process is complete, you will be able to save and print out a
copy of your permit. The only permit that will
take a little while to process will be a new or modified Aquaculture B
permit application- one that requires a satisfactory inspection first
before the permit is processed and issued. All other permits are issued
right away, as if you are buying a hunting
or fishing license. Also of note this year, the triploid white amur
(grass carp) is a separate permit from the Aquaculture permit.</p>
