Canyoncreek, HSB are NOT on the Michigan state approved species list for aquaculture facilities in the registration application and here is an excerpt from MDARD....


You do not need an Aquaculture Research Permit or Aquaculture Facility Registration for:

• a retail bait outlet,
• retail ornamental fish facilities
• using privately controlled waters for noncommercial purposes
• public aquariums or zoos
• portable retail fishing concessions.

...Taken from the following Michigan.gov web page....

I believe the discussion referred to that we had of fish not being brought into Michigan was concerning Tilapia (now legal in MI) and Michigan's recent creation of a State Vet and that person's ability to create rules at any time, without due process or notice has caused many suppliers to pass on entering the state for fear of random violations being charged. Even if able to defend a charge and win, the costs and exposure are too high to risk.
