at least when you consider what it takes to manage a fishery these days with all the various histories, extinctions, diseases, and introduced species which make life completely different.

i came across this news story today, and am now enjoying reading about what they've been doing. :)


i'm not sure that article will be generally available but in case it isn't they are talking about this project:


and the step they are doing now is getting the yearling fishies they've raised from eggs to spawn. good luck fishies. make lotsa babies!

sometimes they drop fish from planes. :) these fishies are going into tanks to be raised for a few more years before they will spawn. i thought in reading at first that they would be spawning soon, but that is not the case. it looks like a few more years of waiting. i hope they can hold on and reach their goals, but it is important even to try IMO even if they fail in the process.
