This is a list of people and businesses selling live fish in
West Virginia. Five categories are listed: fingerlings, fish large enough to eat
(foodfish), baitfish producers, aquaculture consultants, and private water stocked with
fish open to the public (fee fishing). The objective of this list is to assist with aquaculture development in West Virginia. As such, only West Virginia sources will be listed, and only for live, farm-raised products. This list is not all inclusive and is not intended as an endorsement of these companies. If you wish to be listed, or need to change a listing, contact:
