Mark,

I won't presuade you not to, but as you probably know there is a saying among aquaculturists that goes something like this:

If you want to make a small fortune in aquaculture than you need to spend a large fortune.

Fortunately I have another occcupation than raising fish, and would never dream of going into intensive aquaculture. Too risky for me. But raising some trout, bass, perch, and bluegills on the property for profit and fun is more acceptable. Bill is right on several things, but one thing I can really relate to. When you feed the fish and they are growing it can be a lot of fun, and I believe therapeutic.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
