Beds known to local fishermen and can be easily, fully utilized. All year round fishery. A price of over 17 cents per pound needed for commercial exploitation by local fishermen. Loggerhead are caught all year round but most frequently the first half of the year. Turtle nets are the method used.
Turtles can run several hundred pounds in weight.
They are most often caught outside the reef, over rocky holes in thirty fathoms. They travel at night on the land. No organized fishery present but at least one commercially potential area known in the north, by Stone Crab Point and Mosquito Caye. No specialized crab fishing methods known locally and technical assistance would be necessary before it could be developed in any way. Local stone crabs are large and of delicious flavour.
