Re: Rivulus marmoratus
This may be available. I'm checking with the guy who has them to see if he's
willing to let them go. One comment though, and that is my opinion that it's
pretty foolish of FLA to list the fish as protected. Because it's a
synchronous hermphrodite capable of laying fertilized eggs, there is no
minimum population size required to maintain the species and hence no danger
of its disappearing. Additionally, it's widespread through the Caribbean,
coastal Mexico, and even down to South America. There is just no
justification for listing it as protected. As long as one remains, it can't
be overfished.
