Re: NFC: ERP IS BACK!!!



 
> So rather than have a blanket geographic restriction on where removed exotics
can be sent, I'd like to see recipients of ERT fish agree that they
will never intentionally allow ERT-provided exotics to be re-introduced
into the wild. And that this "deed restriction" goes with the fish and
their descendants if the fish are ever redistributed to other owners. The
clear intent is that these lines of fish will be "aquarium strains"
forever in perpetuity, and anyone unwilling to agree up-front to that is
categorically ineligible to receive those fish.

...question: How do you "enforce" this restriction?  Ten generations
down the line, who knows what fish came from where and what grandpa
promised to whom?  The idea shows thought, but I feel is totally
unworkable.
