It's kinda far for me but I thought maybe some of you might be close enough to be able to go and have the interest.
Cam http://www.ksuaquaculture.org/JumpHomePage/BassWorkshop.htm Kentucky State University�s Division of Aquaculture announces a � day workshop," Production of Largemouth Bass on Feed."
KSU has been conducting research on bass production for several years. Demand for largemouth bass continues to increase for both pond stocking and as a food fish.
Subjects to be covered will include hatchery/nursery, feed training, growing fingerlings, overwintering considerations, second year growout, feeds and feeding, harvesting and marketing, and economics.
The workshop will be at the KSU Aquaculture Research Center on Friday October 19, immediately prior to the annual meeting of the Kentucky Aquaculture Association.
