UF FISHERIES PROGRAM FOUNDED 

Dr. Jerome "Doc" Shireman pioneered a legacy rooted in expertise. Doc’s vision extended beyond business; he laid the foundation for the UF Fisheries Department, creating a hub for aquatic science. His commitment to stewarding the lakes and waterways of Florida using fish has shaped our family business and our understanding of the fishery industry state-wide. Today Shireman Fishery stands as a testament to Doc’s passion for advancement in the fishery industry.

SHONGALOO FISHOUT ESTABLISHED

Led by our father's wisdom and brothers Joel and Alvin Shireman's passion for aquaculture and fishing, in 1984 the family established Shongaloo Fisheries, Inc., (named after our mother's birthplace, Shongaloo, LA) providing quality stocking fish throughout Florida and across the Southeast. We eventually sold this part of the business and maintained a modest fishout. We now provide the same quality service, expertise and "the finest fingerlings in Florida" from this Shireman Fishery.
