Fish farmers dealing with major losses
PLANT CITY - Fish farmers throughout Florida are wrapping up 2010 with a big loss. They estimate that they will end up losing three quarters of their fish as a result of the freezes we just went through.
"I have been in the business 30 years," said Marty Tanner of Aquatica Tropicals in Plant City. “I have been through the Christmas freeze, the ‘no name storm,’ but this has to be one of the hardest freezes I have ever been through."
To make matter worse, farmers still haven't recovered from the massive 11 day freeze we had back in January. They took a big financial loss then too.
