There are dozens of fish and shellfish species aquacultured in the United States, with literally hundreds more potential species. This page details species that are not considered main stream culture species, and species that have great culture potential. This is a very small list of alternative species, and should in no way be considered conclusive or eliminate other species for consideration of culture.
