In Tucson, we have the Tucson Aquaponics Society that meets once a month at the UofA Agricultural center. There may be something similar in Phoenix. Check out the Practical Aquaponics website, it is a lot like this one, with more info than you can absorb.I've heard that you do have to get. A license to raise the bluegill and such. I wouldn't mind if it isn't too much. What people don't know won't hurt them either. Brim/sunfish whatever are amazing to eat IMO. I love how bright white and flaky the meat is. So who all here has a aquaponics system? I'm jealous because by the time i got a set up going it'll be time to move. I'd like to pick someone's brain on the subject so I can use this time to plan.
As far as licensing for keeping gamefish, it's not the fees I object to, it's the constant government bumbling errr....meddling, I mean.
