Aquaculture Expert Bill Manci, Chief Technology Officer for Bell Aquaculture, is Now Profiled at Expert411.com
Albany, IN (PRWEB) April 17, 2008 -- Bell Aquaculture has begun operation of the nation's largest yellow perch (Perca flavescens) farm at production facilities located in Albany, Indiana, northeast of Indianapolis, according to President and COO Michael Miller. In tandem with the new company's rollout, its yellow perch and aquaculture expert - Bill Manci - is now profiled for media access and backgrounding at the Expert Information for Journalists website, http://expert411.com/_wsn/page6.html. Bell Aquaculture's Bell Perch? product is expected to be available for restaurant purchase spring 2009 and consumer purchase in the future.
Manci is Bell Aquaculture's Chief Technology Officer and president of FTA, Inc., a company he created in 1982 after receiving his formal training in zoology and fisheries science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and after a six-year career in aquaculture research. Manci has been a consultant since 1980 and has worked on many types of aquaculture and fish farming projects throughout the U.S.A. and other countries. He also has published more than 300 technical and popular articles on the subjects of aquaculture and fish farming, and served as an expert witness in aquaculture and fisheries-related litigation. He is a Certified Fisheries Professional, American Fisheries Society.
"The greatest difficulty for restaurants has been the availability of yellow perch out of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie - the two predominant lakes for the supply of wild-caught yellow perch," explains Miller during an interview on WTRC NewsRadio 1340/Elkhart last month. "Which means the restaurants that were typically serving customers who enjoy the taste of yellow perch, just cannot get the supply."
Further, Miller said, "The yellow perch that we're raising, the Bell Perch?, is a higher quality product from the standpoint that there is no real possibility of contaminants entering into their food chain during their growth. We have absolute control over our water supply, since they are raised in-house there is no opportunity for bird predation, pesticides or herbicides to get into the flesh of the fish that you and I might sit down to eat."
Bell Aquaculture's Albany facility currently has the production capacity of less than 100,000 pounds of fish per year and ultimately will exceed 9 million pounds per year. According to Miller, the company will employ 70 in Albany at full build-out of the new facilities.
Yellow perch is one of the most popular of all North American pan fish. It has a mild, sweet flavor with firm white flesh and low fat levels, making it a favorite in residential and commercial kitchens alike. In years past, yellow perch was the fish typically served at Friday night fish fries in the Great Lakes region.
The vision for a yellow perch farm was born when Miller became personally interested in aquaculture in 1994. After studying this science and becoming involved in the Indiana Aquaculture Association, Inc. (IAAI), he developed a dream to bring the local and personal favorite, yellow perch, back to the area. Miller has been involved with the IAAI for 12 years, including holding the position of secretary/treasurer until recently. He is on the Board of Directors. He currently serves on the U.S. Department of Agriculture's regional aquaculture extension team under NCRAC.
As Miller says, "What started out as an idea on a Post-it note, ended up being 17 file cabinets of information." So after more than 12 years of research, consulting fish experts and a lot of hard work, Bell Aquaculture was formed.
Bell Aquaculture is committed to these four guiding principles in producing its fish:
1) Controlled environment 2) No toxins 3) Healthy growth 4) Gentle to the environment
