We took a trip to the indian river lagoon and collected fish just inside the Sebastian Inlet. We found 2 species of seahorse, 4 species of pipefish, 2 species of file fish, trunkfish, flounder, sargasso fish, gobies, blennies, shrimp and crabs. We used aquarium nets since you are not allowed to use a seine net unless you have a commercial licence. We had our recreational licences and made sure not to collect any of the prohibited species. No stony corals, no fire corals or seafans.
