I'm sure that the best source of information on regulations regarding
wildlife in any state is that state's Fish and Game Commission (or
equivalent regardless of name). Most states do restrict commercial
fishing, whether for baitfish, edible fish, or aquarium fish, in one
way or another. At a minimum, a commercial fishing license is
required, in most states. Makes sense to me, since that would seem to
be the only way the resource can be protected.

Is that not the case in states where you various members live or
collect?
