You may recall I'd posted thoughts about the book 'Four Fish'. (My puppy ate the book. I was not happy.) One of Paul Greenberg's hypotheses was that by targeting/removing big fishes from fish stocks, humans were genetically selecting for smaller fishes. The 'big' genes are... gone! Fished out. Now scientists are conducting research on this very topic.

This is good stuff. It is just as important to release allow the trophy fish to continue to reproduce as it is to allow every juvenile to grow up to have at least one reproductive opportunity!
