Tuscaloosa, AL – As you may have heard yesterday, Alabama Public Radio and the Tuscaloosa News are beginning a new partnership to work together on some topics of mutual interest. We continue that effort today with a look at Alabama's catfish industry. Tuscaloosa News photographer Dan Lopez tells us today about some of the challenges facing an industry that has seen exponential growth during the past two decades.
OUTRO: The final installment of the Tuscaloosa News series "Catfish Country" is in today's edition. It focuses on other types of aquaculture gaining ground in Alabama. Dan's audio report will be available on A-P-R dot O-R-G and at Tuscaloosa-News dot COM a bit later this morning.
