In Iowa an aquaculture license is only $27 and gives you the privilege to buy, sell, trade and transport fish you raise. You would also likely need to have a state/federal tax id, create a sole proprietorship or llc, and I imagine there would be some kind of FDA stuff since you're raising and selling a food product?
The crazy thing is...with that license in Iowa, you can open your pond to all take methods and charge fishing fees t0 non license holding customers. That might be the best route lol! I would charge folks to come harvest fish from the pond, then charge them a per pound fee for the fish and maybe cleaning service.
