A good thought provoking discussion topic that I think can be applied to various species.

ewest you mention: ".... is that LMB will stop reproducing if extreme overcrowding of BG occurs. LMB can sense that reproduction efforts will be fruitless and abandon the event until the situation corrects." Do you have any literature reference that verifies this? If you do it would be a good topic for one of your articles in PBoss mag. It is my understanding that the lack of successful reproduction that produces recruitment of LMB in crowded BG conditions is due to hungry BG robbing the bass nest of eggs and fry and not that the bass sense that reproduction will be fruitless and abandon the event.
