Description:A small but valuable ($3 million retail) live bait shrimp fishery has existed in Biscayne Bay since at least the early 1950s. In recent years there has been increasing pressure to eliminate this fishery, thought to be deleterious to the environment and/or destructive to juvenile game fish. This study was initiated to update the existing knowledge of the fishery in Biscayne Bay and document historical trends in number of participants, fishing methods, fishing area, seasonality, total catch, catch-per-unit-effort, dispositon of the catch, and economics of the industry. Assessing impact on juvenile fish communities requires further study.
