About Minnesota Aquaculture Association

Minnesota has a diverse interest in aquaculture from shrimp to trout to minnows, and bait fish to food fish. This association was formed in 2019 in order to support the many diverse interests in aquaculture and its contributions to regenerative landscapes and food systems.

The association is supported by industry member dues, scientists, volunteers, and a team of volunteer board members. Monthly board meetings are held each first Wednesday of the month. Those who are interested in joining should email info@mnaquaculture.org for further information.

The mission of the association is to promote the long-term sustainability and economic growth of the Minnesota aquaculture, aquaponics and bait industry while minimizing environmental impacts to the natural resources of the state. As the association forms, fresh ideas and support are needed to shape the work of the new association.
