Many people have never heard about the extreme longevity of some Rockfish species. They could teach us the secrets of Negligible Senescence - Not Really Aging at all.
And what do $%^^&@ people do? Hook them for dinner or mount them for trophies?? WTF!
They need to be protected and studied, not used for Filet O' Fish.
These creatures are a miracle of evolution. They've done it and we treat it like trivia! Arghhhhh!
I have to agree with you there. Humans can be such assholes.
Eighthman,
I would agree, its sad. I mean, who wants to eat a fish
thats 200 years old? Crying out loud, who could tell the
difference between a fake plastic one anywho, and that
one.
I would love it if fish like this could talk.
