Re: Female Fluke
The study that was done by SSFFF a few years ago by Dr. Maunder also indicated this. Male fluke do not grow much beyond 18 or 19 inches before they die. All large fluke are females.
Ask Captain Ron as to the study, he saved racks and they where used in the study. The study was used for a year or 2 and then the powers that be went back to their old ways.
We would be much better off taking 16 to 18 inch fish and releasing anything over 18 to help rebuild the stocks.
Look at what has happened to the Seabass stock once we stopped taking the females before they could breed, now the stock is above rebuilt status.
