Gflo, bear with me a little, and I might have a thought for you. I don't know of any fish farm opportunities for you. However, many of the state fish and wildlife agencies will hire summer help for their hatcheries.

For example, the SD Department of Game, Fish and Parks typically hires about 70 or so summer workers for their wildlife (and fish) division. A half dozen of those will be hatchery jobs at trout hatcheries in the Black Hills, or the warmwater/coolwater hatchery up in the northeastern part of the state. Most of the surrounding states do the same thing.

Most of these agencies announce their summer job openings in December or January. We post the announcements on our jobs page (link below). You'll need to watch both the internships and the summer positions. I warn you that this will be a little frustrating. There will be hundreds of temporary jobs, but only a few will be in fish culture. For states closer to you, I would suggest a weekly watch on their departmental web pages. Most agencies are having a hard time finding enough workers these days -- a BIG change from the past.

Hope this helps!
