Florida bass, Micropterus floridanus, is the most popular freshwater sport fish in the state of Florida. Florida bass guard their nests for up to 2 weeks, and many anglers target the prized sport fish during this period using a procedure called bed fishing. This 7-page fact sheet written by John S. Hargrove and James D. Austin and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation, Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, outlines the reproductive biology of Florida bass, the known consequences of bed fishing, and practices to minimize its impacts. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa204

Color in fish is mostly genetically determined, but they are unable to produce red, orange, yellow, green, and some blue colors themselves. They get these colors from their food. Fish raised in aquariums or recirculating water systems without pigment supplementation in their diet will fade and lose their vibrant hues. Even in ponds, dietary pigment supplementation can make fishes brighter and more variably colored, just like their wild counterparts. This 6-page fact sheet written by F. A. Chapman and R. D. Miles and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation, Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, addresses how ornamental fish get their colors and provides a list of ingredient sources for diets that can be used to enhance and intensify fish colors.http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa192

Oysters are one of the most important natural resources found in coastal and estuarine areas of Florida, but some Florida oyster populations appear to be declining. One possible driver of oyster population decline is increased mortality from oyster predators, including marine snails. But other environmental factors, such as changes in temperature or salinity, may also affect oysters. This 5-page fact sheet written by Gabrielle Love, Shirley Baker, and Edward V. Camp and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation, Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences describes how a changing climate may affect oysters directly but also indirectly by affecting their predators.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa228

Florida researchers and fisheries management agencies have conducted years of research on stocking, a common and popular but intensive option for improving recreational fisheries, but determining how successful it has been in Florida has been challenging. This 7-page fact sheet written by Edward V. Camp, Rick Stout, Nick Trippel, Jon Fury, Stasey Whichel, and Kai Lorenzen and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences reviews recent scientific literature to describe the benefits of stocking and the potential drawbacks to create useful definitions of stocking success, as well as metrics for evaluation that are specifically tailored for Florida. Well-planned stocking can not only improve recreational fishing but achieve broader research and management goals and help us to understand how fisheries function, both biologically and socioeconomically. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa216

Artemia (brine shrimp) are good food for larval fish, but they have to be removed from their shells before many species can eat them. The process can be time- and labor-intensive, especially since it is often performed every day. Fortunately, this 3-page fact sheet written by Jason Broach, Cortney Ohs, and Isaac Lee and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation, Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences describes a method for storing a 7-day supply of the brine shrimp that will allow the task to be done just once a week.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa203

Aquaculture is growing in Florida as it is worldwide, but in Florida aquaculture has not yet reached its substantial potential. To understand why this might be, the University of Florida's Institute of Sustainable Food Systems organized and convened a meeting between small-agency, industry, and academic stakeholders to discuss the opportunities and obstacles to aquaculture in Florida. This 6-page fact sheet written by Edward Camp, Taryn Garlock, and James Anderson and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation, Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, describes the proceedings of this meeting in the context of the broader scientific literature explaining why aquaculture ventures do and sometimes do not succeed.

Guides and captains maintaining vessels used for recreational fishing are an important part of coastal economies, but regulations affecting them can be complicated and may differ depending on several factors, including targeted species, number of customers, vessel size, etc. These regulations are often described in multiple locations, since for-hire guides operate at the intersection of multiple state and federal jurisdictions. This 3-page fact sheet written by Elizabeth A. Staugler, Ralph Allen, and Edward V. Camp and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation, Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences summarizes the relevant regulations and requirements.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa218

The commercial betta, or Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens), is one of a group of fishes that live in fresh water in Africa and southern Asia. Today’s commercial bettas are selected for bright colors as well as elaborate fins because the ornamental hobby is the main market for this species. This 5-page fact sheet written by Craig Watson, Matthew DiMaggio, Jeffrey Hill, Quenton Tuckett, and Roy Yanong and published by School of Forest Resources and Conservation, Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences explains how to grow and care for these beautiful and fascinating fishes. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa212

Abstract: This paper explains how the community of Lempur Village living in the forest area have a high dependence with nature. The position of the community is considered to interfere with the conservation program, that they must accept losing access to the forest area that has become the state property (TNKS). The loss of access to forest resources, pushed them to be more protective with the land that already allocated to them by the local government. Their openness to migrants began to fade and they did not tolerate new migrants who cleared land, reinforced by the ancestors history to reinforce the concept of localization to see who has the right to access land in Lempur Village. Moreover, other form of their resistance is by reconstruct the myths,  addressed to immigrants, corporations, and tourists. Intisari: Tulisan ini menjelaskan bagaimana masyarakat Desa Lempur yang tinggal berbatasan dengan hutan sangat menggantungkan hidupnya terhadap alam. Posisi masyarakat desa dianggap mengganggu program konservasi sehingga mereka harus menerima kehilangan akses di area hutan yang sudah menjadi milik negara (TNKS). Dengan hilangnya akses mereka terhadap sumber daya hutan yang kini dijadikan area konservasi, menuntut mereka untuk lebih protektif terhadap sisa lahan yang memang sudah diperuntukan bagi mereka oleh pemerintah daerah. Keterbukaan mereka terhadap pendatang mulai pudar dan tidak lagi dapat mentoleransi pendatang membuka lahan. Diperkuat dengan sejarah nenek moyang mereka untuk mengukuhkan konsep kelokalan guna melihat siapa yang memiliki hak untuk mengakses tanah di Desa Lempur ini. Selain itu bentuk lain dari perlawanan mereka ialah dengan merekonstruksi kembali mitos-mitos yang sangat kuat digaungkan kepada pendatang, baik imigran, perusahaan, maupun wisatawan.

Identifying species found in Smilax the genus can be difficult because species resemble one another closely. One must be careful to use detailed descriptions in order to correctly identify a specimen. Smilax species are important because they can provide shelter and food for wildlife and have provided humans with medicine, food, and dyes. Twelve Smilax species are found in Florida. This 8-page fact sheet covers the nine more common species that one may encounter in the state. Written by Lynn Proenza and Michael Andreu and published by the UF Department of School of Forest Resources and Conservation, January 2013. http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fr375
