Its not often I post a warning on things but this is one. Don't believe everything you read. I have read all of those studies and more which were not cited. There are at least 2 camps in the scientific community on this and they do not agree with each other.

I doubt very seriously that the fisheries scientists ( quite a few of them) in private fisheries mgt who produce and use F-1s would agree with the above analysis. I know I don't. Much of what was said can be said of any captive population of LMB. I think that analysis fits right in with the "opinion biases at work in the studies wrt LMB stocking , types ect". Only one side of the info is presented.

I will dig out the research and post afterward.
