Thank you for your comment Peter, – it is a help with your expert view, – but I think this ‘eager’ discussion was also coming to the same conclusion, – and the learning that I had from this discussion was a great help to understand how difficult it is to determine species. And that there are times when it just has to be left unanswered or open.
We are always looking for the help of ‘experts’ for identification, – and always in the end has to contact some of you for final help. This is of course fantastic that we can do that, – but if we don’t question things we never learn ourselves.
In the project I think we do put a lot of emphasis on species identification, and naming or trying to id the fish, – so to me no discussion can be ‘too much’. A lot of the information that we can find in the few books etc is centered around identification and just getting to the place where one can say, that the fish you have is not a clear species, seems to be important when you read about it, and also when you report to Census.
🙂 and please forgive my expression ‘looking for their father’ 🙂 … of course they are not, I was merely using a bit of humour , which I think there should be a place for in this forum. And ‘knowing’ who the father is relevant for me, because I do report to the Census, – and of course I would like to be as accurate as possible, – even if this means I have to write that the species is unclear :).
And Steff, I know that Mogens does not have the fish anymore unfortunately.
