A q uaculture is the production of marine and freshwater organisms under control led condit ions. This
includes f ish and shel l f ish for human consum ption, spor t f ishing, backyard ponds, and release to enhance wild populat ions. Some types of aq uaculture are practiced in the open ocean and in bays where products such as mussels , c lams, oysters, salmon, f lounder, and cobia are grown. Other aq uaculture occurs in ar t i f icial ear then ponds that are the pr imar y source of far m-raised catf ish, t i lapia, bass, shr im p, crawfish, bait f ish, and or namental f ish and plants.
To maintain healthy l iving condit ions for the f ish populat ion, the use of chemicals is necessar y in aq uaculture. These chemicals are subject to hazardous materials regulat ions ( i .e. Hazardous Materials Plan Program). To assis t the aq uacultural industr y in com plying with the HMP regulator y req uirements, this bul let in provides some general regulator y infor mation on the repor t ing and management of these chemicals specif ic for this industr y.
For more infor mation on hazardous materials plan or regulat ions, you may contact SCEMD at (916) 875-8550 or at the fol lowing l ink s:
