I guess I didn't remember that. I have trouble remembering where all the 2000+ members of the forum are from. I would humbly suggest that T. Woods fill in that info in his profile to avoid being asked that question over and over again. No big deal IMO.

Interesting abstract. I don't want to thread jack so I will try to keep my comments short. I am not sure how we make the leap from over fished Atlantic silverside to under fished LMB. Perhaps this is discussed in the full article? Without reading the entire article my theory would be simple case of artificial selection (as opposed to darwinian natural selection). If the largest are always removed from the population, we are basically artificially selecting individuals that stay small. The same way we made small dogs from larger wild stock. BTW this is why anter restrictions on deer is a horrible managment technique in most circumstances. ohh I hate that
