What the document says
“Eligible producers of farm-raised fish, including fish grown as food for human consumption, shall be eligible to receive payments under this subsection to aid in the reduction of losses due to piscivorous birds.”
The section adds a new paragraph (5) to section 1501(d) of the Agricultural Act of 2014 (7 U.S.C. 9081(d)) making producers of farm-raised fish eligible for payments to help cut losses to fish-eating birds. Farm-raised fish is defined as fish propagated and reared in a controlled fresh water environment.
What the document actually says
“Eligible producers of farm-raised fish, including fish grown as food for human consumption, shall be eligible to receive payments under this subsection to aid in the reduction of losses due to piscivorous birds.”
That sentence, in plain words
Fish farmers may now get payments. The payments help with losses to fish-eating birds. Fish grown for people to eat are covered.
What this is about
Farm-raised fish means fish bred and grown in fresh water that is controlled. Wild fish are not covered. Birds that eat fish are the cause the rule names.
