We have heard reports that Louisiana Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry Bob Odom has been directing agents to halt sales on cases of Chinese catfish in Louisiana. We should expect an announcement from Louisiana soon joining the states of Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas and Florida in testing and possibly taking actions against Chinese catfish.

- Founder of Seafood.com News. I have 30 years in the seafood industry. Started in New England. My work with Baader in the 1980's introduced me to the global industry. Started my own Internet business in 1994. Survived the dot com boom / bust by being honest. Partnered with Urner Barry, and built Seafood.com News into our flagship product. Also do a lot of speaking and consulting on market issues, price forecasts and outlook. Currently I work for both harvesters and processors in the crab and shrimp industry in Newfoundland, and the crab industry in Alaska. My personal goal is to contribute to the sustainable growth of the entire seafood industry - which occupies a unique and special place in the lives of everyone who is a part of it.
