Is it just me, or does 18,000 FRY not seem like that big of a number? Don't get me wrong, I'm appreciative of the effort and the inclusion of pompano and flounder to this program is a great idea!
18K may seem like a small number to some but on the other hand any number is better than none. A step towards replenishment, though a small step, is a positive step.
LOL! 18k more than were out there last week ;-)
Yes, it may not seem like a lot.
But it is, every increase is exponential in the long term.
If just 1% of that 18k are females who spawn once, then that is an average 280 million eggs.
Now do it again, and again and again...
Exponential and compounding increases.
That is as long as we maintain our estuaries.
Conservation Works!
They need to do it with cobia.
Cobia are being farmed in the western gulf and other places, for markets.
This is an old article, but might apply here. World Fishing & Aquaculture | Cobia at a crossroads
Wouldn't that be cool if huge schools of cobia came through where everyone hooks up (like you see with big schools of jacks or reds)?Quote:

They really need a serious break from the pressure they're under.
