    Re: New activity

    Roger do not quote me on this, but it seems like I seen some numbers up around 10 years or so, can't remember exactly, but that seems like what I remember reading. Maybe someone will chime in that knows for sure.

    Roger, I looked in one of my books I have with me and they are saying 10 to 15 years, but as with all living things this is an average and can very with individuals more or less.

    Yeah, but if fish go through similar changes as humans, at about 7 to 8 years of age, the females go through "fishopause" and get really cranky and emotional. The males, though still interested in the occasional piscicine booty call, experience intermittent failures and embarrassment and decide "why fight this?" The males eventually die before the females (just because they can.)

    did you read about the record rockfish that someone just caught? estimated to be 200 years old!
    i think the record koi (they can live around 30 years i think) is 226 years old..
    sturgeon can reach 100 years...

    but regarding tilapia, i've ready that they will live anywhere from 8 to 20 years

    Nature is cruel that way to all of us creatures.
    At what point did our government cease to be of the people, by the people, and for the people?
