What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida

What are the requirements to qualify as a family farmer or fisherman under Bankruptcy Law? Specifically, (1) how much of your income must come from farming or fishing versus other business operations/investments? (2) How long must you be a farmer or fisherman?

We recently moved to Florida and are trying to get a fishing operation going and are worried about being forced into involuntary bankruptcy in the meantime.

Also, I understand farmers and family farmers cannot be forced into involuntary bankruptcy. Does this protection also extend to fisherman?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
