Thank you, Dave, I think you done said it! There's been a similar thread
running on the KillieTalk list of the AKA about whether or not collecting
fish in the wild for hobbyists is destructive. It's a case of "it all
depends", of course; if hobbyists wanted the Devils Hole Pupfish I think the
pupfish would disappear from the wild chop-chop quick. On the other hand,
striped shiners would seem to be almost inexhaustible... Martin, you're on
to something: should Mississippi become a themepark?!?
