Koenig is involved....so you can take form that what you wish.
It is amazing that:
With the technology we possess
The level of mathematics we can employ
and the level of observatories wee can bring to bare that they will take what 3 to 4 more years to complete this study.
Sounds like a cash cow more than a scientific study regarding fish populations
If they would leave the "thousands" of fish eggs alone we prolly wouldn't have a shortage.
Now let me get this part straight - "they have no baseline numbers" - but they banned harvest because they were almost extinct, isn't that a contradiction
Does anyone know if a video exists of the FWC meeting that was held in Apalachicola? The question about reopening was addressed. The search for the oldest known "otolith" of the species was rather enlightening. Evidently the season will never be reopened until they can find the oldest known "otolith".
There's an older gentleman, I can't recall his name, I think it's Ray something or other. Anyhow he's a scuba diver and is very vocal(and entertaining) at the Gulf council meetings about the jewfish taking over everywhere.
I love to hear his take on this.
Dixon, do you remember his name? I know you gotta know who I am talking about.
If not I know Denny does.
THERE SHOULD BE NO COMMERCIAL FISHING ALLOWED FOR ANY SPECIES THAT IS CONSIDERED OVERFISHED.

"Koenig and colleagues have learned a great deal about their study subjects since the mid-1990s, but there still are plenty of missing pieces."
OK, so 15 years give or take hasn't been long enough?
I think your right on the money(pun intended) about the cash cow theory Bob.
Ohhh, we have learned so much, now give us more money and we can learn more.:kick
:nono

Oh, I Know that, But you know they are going to ask for more money to do more "research". :devil
I'd like to send them some carcasses, no charge, for them to research. :grin

"and then we can tell you how you need to manage your fish" (where is the icon of the guy hitting the other guy on the head with a fish?)
