Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries.
The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries has closed commercial and recreational fishing effective May 5, 2009 in an area south of Port Sulphur in Plaquemines Parish following the discovery of tilapia in public waterways in the vicinity.  Tilapia, fish native to Africa, are exotic species capable of displacing native fish and are currently prohibited from being possessed in Louisiana except under extremely restrictive permits issued to tilapia producers.
