Collecting wild fish laws are so variant, in my state, you can't even transport live native fish, but I am landlocked. I know California requires a collection license. But what about other states, in particular Florida. From the laws it looks like you can collect aquarium fish with a fishing license, and a variety of local people fill their tanks from the waters off the state. and based on what I have seen on the laws (http://myfwc.com/fishing/saltwater/recreational/aquarium-species/) collecting seems pretty strait forward, But if I wanted to collect fish and then ship them home (through the post office) what are the laws surrounding that?
