The Work Group will discuss potential sectors for the blue catfish market. The Work Group will receive public comment at the conclusion of all other business for a period not to exceed 30 minutes. No virtual public comment. In person, please sign up in the meeting room prior to the meeting. All public comment can be sent to vdacs.commissioner@vdacs.virginia.gov.
