Aquaculture and Fisheries Extension
infoHelp shape the future of Missouri communities
MU Extension is gathering input to better understand what matters most to Missourians — from health and jobs to education and more.
Please take 10 minutes to complete a short survey that asks a few questions about yourself and what matters most in your community. Responses will be anonymous. The data collected will directly inform MU Extension’s future programming and priorities.
The MU Aquaculture and Fisheries Extension Program provides educational resources and research-based information that can be used to develop a successful aquaculture enterprise for food production as well as to provide information on managing your pond or lake for improved sportfishing or other management objectives. Missouri has over 300,000 private ponds and lakes that can provide excellent fishing and recreational uses as well as provide opportunities for aquaculture production. The resources and links that are provided on this website will help you plan and manage the water resources on your property for fishing and other recreational activities or for developing a successful aquaculture enterprise.
