Commercial Fish Farms
Commercial fish farms are regulated through laws under both the ISDA (Title 22, Chapter 46 “Fish Farms”) and the Idaho Department of Fish and Game (Title 36 “Fish and Game”). All commercial fish farms require a $25.00 license through ISDA, which renews on even-numbered years. New and renewing facilities can complete their information online for commercial fish farm licensing. Prior to approval, a facility must also have an inspection conducted by the livestock investigator in their area.
If you are looking to stock a private pond, you will need to contact the Idaho Department of Fish and Game for a license and then you can use the commercial fish farm list below to find a local source for your fish. This is not a complete list of the fish farms in Idaho, rather a list of those facilities who have allowed their information to be released.
