Absolutely. Shawn is a fantastic person to know.
And, if for some reason you can't get Shawn's assistance, see if your Missouri Extension Service has an aquaculture extension service agency or agent. Here in WV, ours are second to none. They are extremely dedicated, extremely well educated (most have PhD's), and they aren't afraid to wade into a pond up to their armpits filled with leeches -- been there, done that, with several of them.
