ANS-AIS-HACCP:

Harmon Brook Farm & Maine Smelt Hatchery initiated

ANS-AIS-HACCP program in 2003 & submitted our plan to Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife Fish Health Lab July 23, 2003

Years of effort to persuade MDIFW and the Fisheries Division to implement a state sponsored ANS-AIS-HACCP program in Maine, ended with "zero" results,

Our program is based on the work done by Jeffrey L. Gunderson
Minnesota Sea Grant College Program, University of Minnesota and

Ronald E. Kinnunen
Michigan Sea Grant College Program, Michigan State University.

Our ANS-AIS-HACCP program is fully operational for all species(live, dead, frozen) sold in Maine & 25 other states.

We encourage all participants in the Baitfish Industry to embrace this program and diligently pursue the concept of Safe Bait in Maine.
