KRM, as a live hauler that has experienced the endless pitfalls that can happen, I assure you that raising or handling fish is in no way "easy". With the costs of feed, regulations, etc, it's not cheap either. IIRC, in Ohio, you will need permits from your Agricultural dept, wildlife fish handlers permit, transportation permit, and if the fish are in any way processed, a USDA inspection and permit along with USF&W compliance if any fish crosses a state line and health inspections for any pathogens of concern, being in a great lakes state. Those are just a few of the reasons there are not more growers....or live haulers
