That is disappointing. They denied all requested changes in that petition.

Banning the interstate transport of live catfish (as was requested in the proposal) would have stopped the stocking of catfish in farm ponds. I know of no large scale catfish farms here in Indiana. I'd say 90% of the live catfish that moves interstate are fish smaller than 13". It takes approximately 1.5 years go grow a catfish from fingerling size to 2#, which is market size, so a lot of catfish for market use could be grown in ponds.
I don't stock any wild caught fish, all the fish that I stock are grown in production ponds, even the minnows.

It bans shipping Indiana fish to other states. "(f) An individual, possessing either a commercial or sportfishing license, may not take any live catfish longer than thirteen (13) inches caught in Indiana waters across state boundaries. " Doesn't say you can't bring fish from other states here. |

^^ That's good.
It doesn't apply to farm raised catfish either.
