Aquatic Indicators is the industry leader in supplying wild-caught forage mysids for 30+ years and grass shrimp for the past 10 years. Over this span of close interaction with Florida's waterways, our company has developed a culture of admiration and love for our unique ecosystem. We truly care about the environment we rely on and often take the opportunity to not only leave nothing but footprints but to improve the areas we frequent. Our collectors often return with bags full of trash and bundles of fishing line removed from our estuaries. We utilize a conservation-first mindset to ensure we do not over-pressure the populations of mysis and grass shrimp on which we depend. All of us at Aquatic Indicators agree that even if this leads to more work for us, the long-term health of all the species in Florida’s waters is paramount. Utilizing this mindset has led to the discovery of dozens of sites across the state of Florida that we regularly cycle through. A by-product of the variable collecting locations is the shrimp have a changing nutritional profile at different parts of the year based on where and when they were collected and what that population fed on. And finally, unless there is a special request for bycatch, we release all other species back into the wild and wonderful waters of our beautiful Florida.
