Completely unrealted.. Seahorse source?

[Noonan]

Hello.. This is pretty unrelated- I'm looking for something.
I run a business that designs, installs, and maintains sal****er aquariums. Recently I have started breeding seahorses, and have been pretty successful at raising them and marketing them to potential buyers.



There is a specific species of seahorses that I am told gets caught up in shrimp trawlers. This species if found off the coasts of the Carolinas, all the way into the Gulf coast. I am told that they could easily be picked out and put into a holding tank.


Basically, I am looking for someone who is in the shrimping business to possibly become a steady source for a few dozen of these.


I apologize if this Trawler forum is a completely different type of trawling.
Thank You

Pleasure boating only. Google "Shrimping".

You might try picking up a copy of "American Fisherman."* This is an industry publication and you may find contact information for shrimp fishermen's associations or something like that.

I sold my old engines (in 2000) to a guy who trawled for tiny shrimp in Okanagan lake. He sold his catch to salt water aquarium users for feeding their exotic fish.
I no longer have the contact information, but if you google the exotic aquarium topics you might find him.
A real Trawler! He found my ad for the engines in the "BC Fisherman" trade magazine.

Seahorse II, I think he is trying to ask where you come from???

Or maybe he is looking for MarkPierce since Seahorse(s) are making his trawler?

 

[Sailor of Fortune]

Or "National Fisherman"

Thanks guys

Sorry for the confusion.

Forget my post about "American Fisherman." That's the wrong name. Jack rightly named the title of the publication I was thinking of--- "National Fisherman."
