Description:Ohio has had a long history of fish culture dating back to the whitefish hatcheries of the late 1800's. This initial effort was an attempt to arrest the declining commercial stocks in Lake Erie. Today aquaculture in Ohio is directed towards the sportsman. The potential for greatly expanding this direction to meet the increasing numbers of recreational fishermen requires serious thinking about a plan for future aquaculture development in Ohio. The purpose of this paper is to provide background information on the history, present status and prospects for the further development of aquaculture in Ohio. Initial thoughts on a plan to met the identified needs and maximize the benefits to Ohio and the Great Lakes Region are also presented in the hope of generating discussion for further planning. The Sea Grant Program within the Great Lakes Network have a history of aquacultural research and the capability, through their advisory services programs of identifying the needs of their state. Following initial discussions between the network programs, it became obvious that a coordinate Great Lakes aquaculture effort would maximize the utilization of each program's expertise to the benefit of each state.
