http://www.in.gov/dnr/fishwild/3607.htm has all the forms. It is unclear to me that any permit is required for recirculating systems.

You will need a "fish hauler's and supplier's" permit if you produce live fish for sale, no charge.
If you bring the fish in from out of state, an importation permit is required. They list tilapia suplliers as well.
