Texas has a long history in aquaculture and is a national leader in a shrimp, redfish and striped bass production. Through successes and challenges, Texas is a relevant case study for aquaculture in general in the United States and remains a land of opportunity and untapped potential. The Texas Aquaculture Association remains an advocate and unified voice for Texas producers. The TAA has been an active supporter and advocate during the quest for disaster assistance through ELAP for food fish losses resulting from winter storm Uri.
