Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 14: September-October, 1964 To most sportsmen, wildlife agents are those men who check to see that hunters and fisher men have valid licenses and have not harvested more than the legal share of game or game fish. They also patrol both marsh and wooded areas to make certain that no hunting is done out of season. It is well known that close attention is paid to commercial fisheries - running the gamut from fresh water to salt water operations. Commercial operations must be carried out in a legal manner and it is the duty of wildlife agents to enforce all laws regarding the taking of commercial sea foods and commercial fresh water fish. It would be well to point out at this time that enforcement of state laws governing the taking of both commercial seafoods and fresh water fish is not founded on what might be called punitive thinking. In reality, Louisiana's aquatic resources, both inland and coastal, are part of the overall economy of the State. If our fisheries resources are not kept as renewable sources of income, over-exploitation would result in hardships not only on the thou sands of individuals and families depend upon annual income from vast fisheries resources but upon numerous retail outlets handling everything from consumer goods to equipment and supplies.
