Technically, yes you are correct...this is a very fluffy John Deer leptastreaNed says:
If anthropologists were icthyologists, every skin color, hair color, language, and height of the various Homo sapiens would be seperate species.Eric A. says:

Very interested in this post! Have been thinking of adding some myself.Dan Dolaptchieff says:
We thank you Mr Carlson for your unending truith about our fishery here in Hawaii nae. It has been a Very Sustainable fishery for the whole time I have been here,27 years. The numbers of fish counted every year,just goes up,even with the collecters taking 2 millon small fish a year. Well now that we have had no take in west hawaii for 2 years the population will be allmost to many for the reef to sustain since there is no human take. Just like the fishery in southern California the take of sea urchins must coincide with the growth of the kelp. We now see sea urchins devastating the kelp beds there. We can live in a clean harmony with nature. First we must study and understand her ,and then make informed choices about ,what ,when and size and how many is sustainable to harvest. This has been well thought out in Hawaii. It is still one of the most studdied and Sustainable resources we have here in Hawaii. We have lived in harmony with the tourist dive industry here for 20 years. Making sure the industry makes no impact in the areas the divers go to. Thats why 30% of the west cost is off limits to all fropical fish collecting. The rest of the Big Island is to rough and remote to harvest for tropical fish, so it stands as an almost untouched area supporting many super large adult breading pairs of all kinds of fish. We will have plenty of fish on the Big Island for many generations ,as long as we continue to fish it the way we have in the past. Many of the deeper fish like the bandit angel are a 140 ft + and deeper fish. These fish have been seen in huge schools in 200- 300 ft of water, we see only the population pushed shallower do to overcrowding in the depths. We face many challenges to help save our corals from heat death here as well as many reefs worldwide. Please support our ongoing coral saving efforts. Alohag_branham says:
