‘I don’t know where the breaking point is at’: A look at the threats the Louisiana seafood industry faces
Whether it’s crawfish, crabs, fish, shrimp or oysters, Louisiana is known for its seafood. The seafood industry is one of Louisiana’s largest employers.

Yeah we could but try to sink that into others heads. Oysters r to high shrimp to low. Go figure that. And diesel and gas is sky high. I got a 35/15 skiff shrimper and I can leve the dock no less than 1100 dollars and 16/20s r 1.45 a pound. And will drop even lower when the boats start coming in. Y’all should just go a head and shut it all down. Just like all the. So called charter fishing. We can use nets to catch fish but they can load up the boat with trout. Come in and go agin bay r night. Get out of here man it bullshit spot lighting fish lmfao. You can’t even catch a trout out there now. And another thing the live bait boats. Can fish inside waters all year round. And to some it’s a license to outlaw. Believe me I know.
