Again, why would it matter. If you released every perch that you caught at Utah Lake it wouldn't cause a population explosion of perch. It's the wrong habitat. They've had decades to reproduce, and they struggle to even survive.

Couldn't agree more. The quote was, "Is there a perch fishery in Utah that WOULD NOT benefit from 1,000 fishermen keeping 50 egg stuffed perch per day?"
And my answer was that keeping a large number (if it were possible) of perch from Utah Lake would not benefit the fishery, because they don't reproduce in large numbers there anyway.
