AquacultureTalent respects all who contribute to the aquaculture, fisheries and seafood industries and some people stand out. This week in the “Spotlight” we feature Katie Harris, President of the U.S. Trout Farmers Association and President of Mt. Lassen Trout located in spring water abundant northern California, U.S. Please enjoy this feature about one of very few women in aquaculture.

When I first met Katie Harris in early 2020 (pre-COVID-19) at the Sportsman’s Expo in Sacramento, California, she immediately struck me as approachable, informative, and warm. Within a ten-minute conversation, we, both women who appreciate fish, were talking about the industry, growth of the industry and made plans to talk more.
