This time next year there should be quantitative proof on what impacts tilapia have in a pond in many situations. The anticipated delivery run at this point for me to Ohio is the last week of May or the first week of June...Earlier if it warms up sooner.

The Ohio State Aquaculture folks did some research, which I assume the folks at Inspired.. looked into. Some really good info, but you need Microsoft PowerPoint to view. I think there are free readers available to download. http://www.ag.ohio-state.edu/~prec/aqua/Bowling%20Green%20Workshop/Species%20Selection.ppt The notes say under Tilapia they are not legal to stock, but I'm not sure how old the info is. They are listed on the unrestricted "legal to grow" list for 2010 with a Class A license. Last edited by Conejo; 03/18/10 10:38 PM.

Conejo, Thanks for the heads up...I double checked and Tilapia are indeed, UNRESTRICTED for private water stocking in Ohio. I believe the "Class A License" pertains to raising Tilapia for commercial purposes to sell as a food fish. Last edited by Rainman; 03/21/10 12:47 AM.
