A big fish story
Big fish produce disproportionately bigger eggs and more of them
Mayo 10, 2018
A new paper in Science shows that big female fish are disproportionately important to maintaining populations. The research suggests that protection of large, reproductive females is essential to sustaining viable fish stocks.
