It seems illogical that the USDA would be given the exclusive authority to oversee and regulate catfish only while the FDA regulates all other seafood.

The catfish inspection program is critical to public health.

It is unfortunate that we have a Congress of the United States, the majority parties that want to just tear down this law.

The jurisdictional grab serves only to shield catfish farmers against competition at the expense of U.S. consumers.
