I was under the impression that it was against conservation policy to release captive fish/seahorses back into the wild. i've seen it mentioned several times on this thread. i thought it was the fear of introducing some of the captivity diseases back into the wild or something? ie. once it's been in an aquarium, it can't go back.

if you mean short bigeye's then yes
I took a deep pool skimmer net through the turtle grass beds last summer here in Southwest Florida. The best thing I got was a Lantern Basslet which is thriving in my 125 gallon. I also got some filefish and pipefish, plus hermits - not sure what kind -had brown legs. Got lots of small to medium size shrimp also. Hope to get a dwarf seahorse or two if I'm lucky when I try again this summer.
When I snorkel or dive off the beach on small reefs or rocky areas I often see Lantern Basslets, Butterflyfish, Damsels, Triggers and occasionally a juvenile Tang. There are also pretty purple sea whips if you are atleast 100 yards off the beach and lots of sponges, gracilaria seaweed and some caleurpa prolifera. According to the rules in florida, you can collect most things recreationally, but hardly anything commercially without a license, which looks nearly impossible to get.

two day's of collecting and ive goten a crap load of seahorses and pipefish. Baby northern puffers and bantail puffers were caught as well. I also got a few fish that are in larva stage (they were transparnet) Looked to me to be baby groupers. I say about a week or two of nice weather and the tropical's should be all over if you know where to go.

There is a chance that after college I will end up in southwest Florida, Ft Myers area. Anyone catching anything in this area? Also say I went out and spent the $800 to get scuba certified and got all the necessary equipment. What process would I need to go through to sell collected fish to people online or local stores? What equipment are you guys using?
What quarenteen process do you guys put your collected fish through, do you treat them with anything?
