[QUOTE="Ictalurus, post: 394845, member: 2983"] I gues it depends on your definition of dumb. Selection pressure on fish, in this case LMB, is greatest at juvenile stages, as usally some 95% plus don't make it over X months or a year. As they age, the chances for survival increase. So I would say the mature LMB you release is not dumb and if it successfully reproduces, the offspring would have inherited genes from a parents that have reached sexual maturity, which probably only happens in less than 5% of cases. Pretty good for natural selection, huh? [/QUOTE]
