Rep. Barry Moore introduces legislation to help farm-raised fish producers

Washington, D.C. — Today, Rep. Barry Moore (AL-02) introduced the Bringing Aquaculture Indemnities to Speed (BAITS) Act, which would help farm-raised fish producers who suffer considerable loss without triggering a disaster payment have options to recoup some of their assets. Moore believes this legislation will help grow America's aquaculture sector.

"Farm-raised fish operations put affordable, healthy protein options on the table in the state of Alabama and across America,” said Moore. "Providing these operations with more risk management options will help current producers thrive, but also encourage industry growth by enticing more producers to get involved in aquaculture."
