Florida is the No. 1 producer of aquarium fish and aquatic plants in the United States. Aquarium fish account for more than 44 percent of Florida's total aquaculture sales, representing over $33 million. Aquatic plants rank second, accounting for more than one-fifth of total sales with $17.5 million.
