Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Tilapia source near Iowa Missouri border?

Rainman I contacted Alan Johnson the other day. He says he has never approved a permit for Tilapia in Iowa. He said he has only had one other request for tilapia and that was denied. He did however seem very receptive to the idea and wanted more information regarding the benefits of tilapia. I offered to make my pond a test bed for any research they might want to do. I am going to start another thread asking for information from others. Please take the time to check it, who knows there could be some more business coming your way!

Anyone from Iowa that would be interested in putting tilapia in your pond please contact Alan at alan.johnson@dnr.iowa.gov and express your interest. The more we bug him the more likely it is to happen! As mentioned he is very receptive to the idea and will get back to you VERY quickly.
