This study is the first to show that with a few NLMB genes in the population the dreaded trait of reduced catchability can be greatly diminished.

That is great info Eric...thank you.

it's amazing to stumble along like me & sometimes get lucky
with decisions that may result in what I want...lol


Fishing has never been about the fish....
