How do you make a small fortune in aquaculture?

The joke is, "You start with a big fortune!"

Aquaculture is one strict farming business. Make an error and your crop dies right now. Make a different error, and the Department of Fisheries is in your business.  Make yet another error, and the authorities can impound equipment, revoke your license, or legally execute your crop. 

This is not a business for the disorganized, the unprepared, or the fainthearted. Aquaculture is not a get rich quick proposition; often it's not even a get rich slow proposition!

All who have succeeded have done so through hard work, long hours, significant investment, and great personal sacrifice. 

If you follow these ten steps you will more likely to reduce the risk of your investment.
