Bait Fisheries Serving the Marine Recreational Fisheries of Puerto Rico
LEGORE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSOCIATES, INC. BAIT FISHERIES SERVING THE MARINE RECREATIONAL FISHERIES OF PUERTO RICO by Steve LeGore, Ph.D. Submitted to: Department of Natural and Environmental Resources Marine Resources Division San Juan, Puerto Rico Reference: DNER Contract Number 133-06000965 For Grant F-54 Contract Register Number 27-3-06 Submitted by: LeGore Environmental Associates, Inc. 2804 Gulf Drive Holmes Beach, FL 34217 Tel: (941) 778-4650 [email protected] Technical Report No. 06-113F May 11, 2007 PROLOGUE The author is grateful for the assistance and participation of several individuals, each making valuable contributions to the efforts described in this document. The program was initiated in coordination with Dr. Craig Lilyestrom of the Puerto Rico Department of Natural and Environmental Resources (DNER), who has consistently supported the successful completion of this effort. He also reviewed a draft of this report prior to its finalization. Representatives of the commercial guided marine recreational fisher and bait fisher communities were very supportive, although some components of the non-commercial recreational community were more reticent. Mr. Jorge Casillas, a graduate student at the University of Puerto Rico, Mr. Eloy Martinez, an aspiring graduate student recently accepted at the University of South Florida, and Ms. Maria Camacho-Rodríguez of the DNER were of great help with certain logistic arrangements and in conducting certain interviews. Messrs. Mark Hardin and Frank Hearne provided helpful assistance and advice, and Christopher LeGore assisted with photographic production. Finally, Mr. Jose M. Berríos served as Contract Manager for DNER, as ably assisted by Ms. Aitza Pabón. All of these contributions were essential to the successful conduct of this effort, and all are appreciated. -

African Pompano Ceviche
Florida Seafood at Your Fingertips: Live! Michael Sipos, Collier County Agent [email protected], 239-252-4825 Date of recording African Pompano Ceviche What you will need: 1-1½ lbs African pompano (most white flesh seafood could be used as a substitute) ¾-1 cup lime juice (approximately 6-8 limes) ¼ red onion ¼ sweet yellow onion ½-1 jalapeno pepper 1/3 cup cilantro 3 cloves of garlic 1 avocado ½ cucumber 1 tablespoon olive oil ¼ teaspoon black pepper 1 ½ teaspoon Kosher salt A sprinkle of paprika Difficulty of recipe: Simple Total time to make: 30 minutes preparation, 45 minutes – 3 hours of “cook” time Disclaimer: This dish is “cooked” chemically through the denaturation of protein that occurs when seafood is exposed to the low pH conditions of lime juice. There are certain microbial and parasitic risks when consuming sashimi or ceviche. When consuming potentially raw seafood, the FDA recommends freezing the flesh at -4 F for 7 days prior to preparing to minimize the risk of consuming active parasites. Although these dishes are delicious, special consideration should be taken by at risk health groups if enjoying “raw” seafood. Recipe instructions: 1. Quarter the red and yellow onion and chop to a rough diced texture. 2. Chop cilantro to get approximately 1/3 cup volume with little to no compression. 3. Peel and mince 3 cloves of garlic. 4. Mince ½-1 whole jalapeno pepper depending on desired level of heat. Removing the seeds from the pepper can also greatly reduce the amount of spice tasted in the dish. 5. Halve 1 avocado, scoop the flesh from the skin and cut into a cube like consistency.
