I am wondering why there is a good number of fish farms in Ohio. Ohio pond owners are lucky. A few are closer to me than the ones in my own state and carry species seemingly not sold in Michigan - HSB, RES, tilapia. I checked the Michigan DNR websites and can't find any restrictions about a private citizen (me) bringing these species into a private pond with no inlets/outlets.

So, what is driving the business in Ohio? Lots of local pond owners? Ideal weather? Tax incentives for aquaculture?
