The recreational flats fishery (bonefish, tarpon, and permit) in South Florida is economically and culturally important and has declined recently for unknown reasons. Biscayne Bay is a shallow subtropical lagoon system with a flats fishery bordered by a large urban center. The Bay also supports commercial fisheries, including the pink shrimp bait and food fisheries. These two shrimp fisheries represent Biscayne Bay's most valuable fisheries, but how these fisheries interact with the recreational flats fishery is relatively unknown. We conducted a literature review to identify the potential direct and indirect effects of the two shrimp fisheries on the recreational flats fishery in the Bay. Our review found that there are likely minimal impacts of the Biscayne Bay pink shrimp fisheries on the flats fishery in Biscayne Bay since (a) the species are not caught by shrimping gear, (b) the shrimp fishery removes less than 10% of the Bay's shrimp population, and (c) damage to seagrass is minimal (but hardbottom is damaged). Yet, the potential for indirect prey removal cannot be ruled out and requires quantification with additional diet data, food web, and mass balance models. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
