About our Extension Program

Here you will find research-based information and assistance on various aquaculture species and culture systems, farm pond management and aquatic weed control, water gardens and fish health and water quality services.

The Aquaculture/Fisheries Center works in partnership with the University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension Service to provide aquaculture and fisheries information, education and services to all Arkansans. With few exceptions, educational materials and services are provided free of charge.

Aquaculture/Fisheries Extension Specialists have a wide range of expertise in the various fields of aquaculture and natural fisheries. When needed, they can draw upon other faculty at UAPB as well as the knowledge of hundreds of other scientists across nation and world. Headquartered at Pine Bluff, Extension personnel are also located in Lake Village, Lonoke and Jonesboro. To contact our Extension personnel, visit the “Our People” page.
