Try to get ahold of a copy of Aquaculture: An Introductory Text by R.R. Stickney. It's probably around $40. It's very general but covers how to choose a site all the way up to marketing, and everything in between. It's a good place to start without spending much money.
There are also lots of fish farms in SE FL, and some give tours. I would check them out and get an idea of the kind of operations they have. Check the phonebook for aquaculture, fish farming, and pond stocking and call around.
Also, the U of Miami has an aquaculture program. Once you have an idea of what species you might be interested in you should be able to find very detailed info on the culture and economics for those species in their library. They should also have an extension agent who can help you and answer any specific questions you have. UF also has aquaculture extension agents in the SE.
