Thanks for the info, Ray. Is the genital pore in front of the anus
or behind it? I guess I should go out and start looking at wild fish
and see if I can find any consistent differences. Anybody want to go
pickerel hunting? I know several places. By the way, we expect to
have a good supply of wild type pickerels this spring/summer once the
year's fry have grown out. Aquarists will be able to get them at:
