FISH CATCH STATISTICS IN RELATION TO WATER RELEASE FROM THE ST. LUCIE CANAL.

Abstract

A study of commerical fish landing statistics does not indicate any serious reduction in commercial activity due to the discharge of water through the St. Lucie Canal. It is believed, however, that the sports fishing business, insofar as inshore and estuarine species are concerned is quite seriously harmed, although no permanent damage may be done to the fish stocks themselves by the freshwater influx. The effects of sediment cannot be fully appraised without a detailed investigation. (Author)
