Re: Re: collecting exotics for resale
Daryl and list:
IMNHO, small fishes, about 4" or less, would be best. The'd be easiest
to capture, easiest to ship, and most desirable. Removing the larger ones
will have the greatest immediate impact, but removing small ones will have
thegreatest long term. Removing both would be ideal, but theres simply
nothing to be done wiht the larger ones but the fillet knife. Cichlasoma
are perfectly edible, and make a good part of the diet of native peoples.
