Protect the Alligator To Protect Black Bass
Florida residents urged restocking lakes with American alligators to boost black bass populations. The piece argues the alligator is harmless to people and a key tourist draw, noting declines of 90 percent in alligator numbers and 75 percent in black bass fishing over 15 years. It links restoration to revived sport fishing and tourism.

Frog Farming in Florida Shows Rapid, Profitable Growth
Florida frog farming benefits from warm climate with March to July propagation. Female frogs lay 10 000 to 25 000 eggs and up to 90 percent hatch, though only about 10 percent mature. Hatched young are moved to a hatching pool to prevent cannibalism. Tadpoles take six to eight months to become frogs, then two more years to reach full size.
