I think it was Alabama whose wildlife and fisheries did a study showing the increased numbers of red snapper on their artificial reefs is crippling the trigger fish because a triggerfish can't protect its clutch of eggs against their population.

let me male sure i have this right

Snapper which really never were a western gulf fish are considered endangered despite being at the highest population in history are eating a native species eggs at a rate so high that they are now endangered, and FedGovs solution is dont catch the snapper?

WTactualF is going on here?
