This census is being conducted to obtain basic data on aquaculture production per Section 4217 of the Agriculture Act of 1998, which states that Persons licensed shall submit annually a summary report of sales specifying the amount or weight of each species sold and gross receipts. These data will be used as a basis for statistics of the amount of fish, baitfish, crustaceans, and mollusks sold and their value of sales.


Response to this census is required by Pennsylvania law for persons licensed for artificial propagation of aquaculture species. Information you provide will be used only in aggregation with other reports. Your cooperation is extremely important to accurately publish production and sales statistics to provide unbiased data for proper evaluation of the aquaculture industry.


The information you provide will be used for statistical purposes only. Your responses will be kept confidential and any person who willfully discloses ANY identifiable information about you or your operation is subject to a jail term, a fine, or both. This survey is conducted in accordance with the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2018, Title III of Pub. L. No. 115-435, codified in 44 U.S.C. Ch. 35 and other applicable Federal laws. For more information on how we protect your information please visit: https://www.nass.usda.gov/confidentiality. Response to this survey is voluntary.


According to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, an agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control number. The valid OMB number is 0535-0150 The time required to complete this information collection is estimated to average 20 minutes per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information.
