In those days, the "farm-raised" shrimp were sold to the bait stores.
You could buy a dozen for a dollar. Live. Great bait for the smaller
fish, like whiting, flounder, redfish, porgies, et cetera.


I never saw a farm raised bait shrimp but maybe it is just because
there were always plenty of day boats around selling them.


Most of the live shrimp at the three or four salt water bait shops I
frequented in northern Florida were "serviced" by trucks from the other
side of the state. They had tanks on the back of the trucks and in the
tanks were...bait shrimp. Sometimes baitfish, too...
