Description:Aquaculture is an important part of Connecticut’s seafood industry, as well as national and global seafood production.

This review will assess Connecticut’s aquaculture laws, which have grown from colonial shellfishing to a multimillion-dollar industry. It will also compare various aspects of Connecticut’s aquaculture laws to those of its competitor states in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, including Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, New Jersey, Virginia, and Maryland. This review will address eleven major questions and suggest policy changes to strengthen the regulatory systems, as described below
