Shrimp

Suniland Magazine

1925

The shrimp is found along the entire coast of Florida, but its commercial exploitation is confined to Franklin and Nasau counties, which ship both raw and canned shrimp to Northern markets in an extensive way. Crabs are also found in abundance elsewhere, while in her more southerly water is trapped in great numbers the crayfish, or "Florida Lobster."
