MS HB188

Reenacts the Mississippi Catfish Marketing Law of 1975 (sections 69-7-601 through 69-7-617) to regulate catfish labeling and marketing practices.

Requires all retailers and food service establishments to disclose the country of origin of catfish products at the point of sale, either through labels, signs, or menus.

Distinguishes between "Farm-raised Catfish" (hatched, raised, harvested and processed in the United States) and "River or Lake Catfish" (harvested in U.S. waters and processed in the United States).

Prohibits the use of the term "catfish" for fish species in the families Siluridae, Clariidae, and Pangasiidae; violators face fines up to $1,000 for first offense, $2,000 for second offense, and up to $5,000 or license suspension for subsequent violations.

Extends the repeal date of the law from June 30, 2012 to June 30, 2013, and makes the act effective July 1, 2010.
