I've not understood the beneficial role of a Paddlefish in a fishery due to what I'd imagine, like yourself, the impact they have on the zoo population. Zoos help manage planktonic algae blooms and provide essential forage for YOY fish - I want zooplankton in abundance. I've never heard of a zoo management problem before - when the planktonic algae is consumed zoos crash - imagine it's happened thousands of times in my ponds, but I've never witnessed any detrimental effects to my fisheries due to zoo crashes. Bottom line: I don't understand the beneficial role a Paddlefish would serve in a fishery given their impact on the zoo population. Now, if Paddlefish consumed planktonic algae I could see a role in a very fertile fishery...regardless, that thing is an absolute prehistoric monster!
Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
