Tarpon Industries' Annual Shareholders Meeting Adjourned until November 14, 2007

MARYSVILLE, Mich. -- October 19, 2007 - Tarpon Industries, Inc. (AMEX: TPO), a manufacturer and distributor of structural and mechanical steel tubing and engineered steel storage rack systems, today announced that it adjourned its Annual Shareholders Meeting scheduled for October 18, 2007 in order to allow additional time for its shareholders to consider the proposals submitted to them for a vote.

The Annual Meeting will now be held on November 14, 2007 at 12 noon, local time, at the Thomas Edison Inn, 500 Thomas Edison Parkway, Port Huron, Michigan.

"While support for the proposals contained in the proxy statement has been strong, there are a substantial number of shareholders who have not yet had the opportunity to vote and we want to give them time to consider the proposals and vote," said James W. Bradshaw, CEO of Tarpon Industries.

The Meeting was called for the purpose of considering the following proposals: (1) to approve the issuance of shares in connection with (a) a private placement offering of the Company's debt which has been consummated and which requires the issuance of shares of common stock and may require additional shares of common stock, and (b) a credit facility which has been consummated which includes warrants that may require the issuance of common stock; (2) to approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common stock, no par value, from 30,000,000 shares of common stock to 100,000,000 shares of common stock; (3) to re-elect James W. Bradshaw as a Class I director to serve for a term of three years; (4) to ratify the appointment of Rehmann Robson as the Company's registered independent public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007; and (5) to transact such other business as may properly come before the Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

The Company encourages all shareholders to read the Proxy Statement dated September 12, 2007, and to submit a proxy, if they have not done so, indicating how to vote their shares on the proposals prior to the adjourned Meeting date. The Company may consider additional adjournments to allow shareholders additional time to vote on some or all of the proposals if sufficient votes have not been received as of the adjourned Meeting date. Valid proxies submitted by the company's shareholders prior to the October 18, 2007 Meeting will continue to be valid for purposes of the rescheduled meeting. As more fully described in the proxy statement, Tarpon's shareholders are entitled to change their votes or revoke their proxies at any time prior to the vote being taken. Shareholders who need proxy materials or who desire to change their vote or revoke their proxy are encouraged to contact Rebecca Ludy of Tarpon Industries, Inc. at (810) 364-7421.
