The University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff (UAPB) Fish Disease Diagnostic Lab in Lake Village is a valuable resource for area fish farmers, UAPB Chancellor Dr. Lawrence A. Davis, Jr. said. Dr. Davis recently joined state and local officials in ceremoniously cutting a ribbon to open the lab in a newly renovated building near its former location. The new lab, which is part of UAPB's Aquaculture/Fisheries Center, is the result of collaboration with the city of Lake Village, the state and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The city provided the facility, the state and USDA provided funds to remodel the space and UAPB is providing skilled fish health experts, utility costs, supplies and equipment. Located at 1652C Highway 65 in Lake Village, the new lab serves fish producers and recreational pond owners by providing fish disease diagnosis, fish health inspections, water testing and more.
